No, a list is presented once a file is picked, and the user clicks on one 
of the mirror links to dl the file.  Fuseware is 2nd from bottom on the 
list, bottom in terms of HTTP links (the last link in the list is 
flirble.org's ftp link).  If you'd like to be taken out of the loop for a 
while to let your bandwidth settle, and maybe investigate some throttling 
options (davidu's mod_throttle suggestion is a good 'un), let me/us know.

In theory, a rotation and short-term quota/traffic based expunge/return 
system could be implemented, but it would entail massively complexifying 
the current simple system.  Work will be done to rethink the way beo works, 
no doubt we'll talk about it at the uk (but online for those unable to make 
it irl) codevolt next month.
