===8<==============Original message text=============== Well, I brought this up for a couple of reasons, it can be used for many reasons, GOOD and BAD.
Your idea sounds good, it might also be used for some other heavy data files we host for whatever reason.
I brought it up due to the possible bad uses of this technology. It's possible for a spammer to use this service for free bandwidth for images and other content (flash, etc).
This is just one of those things to hold on to and keep an eye out for, if the word get's out, the spammers might try and abuse it. From the message boards, most people don't care what it's used for, except those using 40 GB per day in illegal movie downloads cause they choose to be a mirror.
