Caching Thumbnail Files

So I'm creating an app that uses the GridScreen as the main view. This screen loads all the images in great and I can scroll through everything perfectly. The problem I'm having is if I Show() another screen(Search, play video, etc) when I go back to the GridScreen, it has to reload every url. Sometimes if the connection through the Roku isn't that great, this can take a lot of time to load these 10+ visible thumbnails(not to mention the others in the background).

Is there any way to cache these files so that they load quickly or not have them unloaded at all? I'm at a loss here right now and not having to redraw/load every thumbnail would greatly improve my UX.

Thanks all!
