As an asside, this link points to a friend of mine's webspace on AT&T. He had mirrored the file on a small hosting provider that he and I both use. After the story was posted to slashdot the link to his site was the first mirror mentioned. In just a few hours he received 6,500 successful requests for the 4Mb video. At this point our provider received e-mail from his colocation facility indicating that his machine had become unavailable because the 10Mbit port he was assigned was at 100% utilization and their status monitor was alerting him of his unavailable machine. At that point the file was removed and he's redirected to his AT&T webspace. The machine still remains busy (no where near as busy though) handling just the redirection.

Behold, the power of /.
