Hello, IMHO it's terribly risky to rely on something like that. I believe Intranet, in a controlled environment, is alright though. Maybe you should cache those files for offline use: do only make them available for playing when they've been successfully downloaded somewhere in your own Intranet first, especially if you rely on a non-professional distant storage service for your downloads. If you let Liquidsoap handle the caching of the files on-the-fly it will be too late when something bad happens.
