that stuff is usually advertising supported. many of those 'free' file
hosting systems charge to let people download at reasonable speeds, and
make the download process painful for freeloaders. or, like Google
Picasa's image service, they charge if you use more than a couple
gigabytes. how do you attach advertising to a user programmed tomcat
server with a postgres database?
