Orasis writes "The [0]Open Content Network is a collaborative effort to help deliver open source, public domain, and [1]Creative Commons-licensed content using [2]peer-to-peer technology. The network is essentially a huge 'virtual web server' that links together thousands of computers for the purpose of helping out over-burdened/[3]slashdotted web sites. Any existing mirror or web site can easily [4]join the OCN by tweaking the HTML on their site."
