It's also used for distributing large patches (XP SP2), the latest
ISO's of various (free) operating systems, any pretty much anything else
that would create a flash crowd load on a system that it could not handle
without distributing the traffic amoung the people downloading. 

This isn't a made-for-pirating-software/audio program, don't treat it as
