This is also good for newbies to open source to realize how much different the open source model is in terms of communicating in smaller increments rather than the school-based approach which is to keep things closed and in the dark until having one big grand monolithic release... What I really want to add is some webdav love to ccHost so that ppl. can mount their account and it will be viewed as a hard drive. With webdav and apache then we can call some scripts on different events (and check username/password securely) to both throttle the connection as well as do some filetype and metadata checking and whatnot...this would be very useful for large videos and big files (and ppl. on a slow connection)...
