Yes, I did. I thought it was pretty good. Nice and clean. And I like
how it chooses a server. I don't know how it selects. You could do it
by location (nearness to the client ip), server load (weight those with
lower server load). I'm sure there are other ways as well.
I have seen examples where you choose the download, then the server. I
wish I can think of one right now...
