If I'm reading the FAQ/Documentation correctly ... and I may not be
understanding it completely after a admittedly quick pursual ... it sounds
like a 'napster for files', with ppl uploading to our servers, as well as
downloading from it?

From the FAQ:

"I don't want you stealing my bandwidth! How can I stop it from uploading?

    You could hack the source to not upload, but then your download rate
    would suck. BitTorrent downloaders engage in tit-for-tat with their
    peers, so leeches have very little success downloading.
"

or am I looking at the wrong web site:
