NOW, everything suddenly starts to make sense to me :-) Basically, if guy A wants to transfer a file to guy B, guy A uploads the thing to the server and puts guy B in the ACL, and then tells guy B how to fetch it and how long it'll be available for. Guy B then DLs the file from the server, and the server notes that guy B has DLed it and nobody else is in the ACL, so it decides to delete the file (the only reasonable thing to do, I guess).
