So I visited the site. Tell me a little more, Armand, how the crawler works and how it is used by others.

It actually crawls your site even if you don't ask it to.

...but be careful, never dl anything I stream OTR (Old time radio) I have got viruses from down loading there twice, after that I decided not to trust the down loads because they allow anyone to upload files without filtering them.

Multimedia files (videos, audio, what have you) are not executables, meaning that viral code cannot be injected. What player were you using, and most importantly where did you get it from? Do you also follow reasonable computing practices (i.e., do you patch your machine in a timely fashion)?
