Why not use same solution in both cases? I use that at home.
For sit. 1: downloads should continue even if the cable is
inserted/removed in the middle of a download (does for me).
For situation 2: If you use views with bind, the names will resolve
different depending on the user being outside or inside, that way
correct link will always be available.
