Mars global orbiter has sent back high resolution pictures of the surface that would take scientists a few years to scan to find definitive signs of water on Mars. This would be a perfect candidate for such a system.
I don't see anything that would prohibit someone from creating a ring of accounts with a huge file going round and round that brings the server down to it's knees. Let's assume they use file signatures to prohibit this. Since the files end up on a windows directory, what's to stop a script kiddie in scripting something that would add a character to the end of the file and change the name and send it on to the ring. How would they protect against that?
