well, a d**n shame, really. But maybe this is a good time and place to ask. What is this mass downloading program thing I keep reading about? How does it work, and why does it close down sites? How can you damage a site that is made for downloading by downloading? I am missing a big chunk of information here. I know the damage that can be done by viruses and the like, but how can a program that allows one to download free items from a site in like a batch command thing where it downloads the items one after one without the user having to go through them one by one by hand (I am assuming this is how they work...I ain't got one anyway) cause problems on the site itself? Please enlighten me.

This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
