John you are correct, it is a bit like Kazza. I use it to download Linux distros (which is quite legal Keith - Redhat and Debian actually encourage this to save loads on their servers)..

Heres a more accurate description:

You have something terrific to publish -- a large music or video file, software, a game or anything else that many people would like to have. But the more popular your file becomes, the more you are punished by soaring bandwidth costs. If your file becomes phenomenally successful and a flash crowd of hundreds or thousands try to get it at once, your server simply crashes and no one gets it.

The rest - I'll let you google for that! I don't wanna get into trouble with the Boss
