I am sort of reviving [this][1], but sort of not as well.

@BrunoPereira was aware of [this][2], as I poked him about it.  I did not flag it as I was being overly cautious, i just wanted moderator input at the time.

But now that I think about it, these "anonymous hosting" sites (including Rapidshare among others) pose somewhat of a security risk, as these "download links" can contain almost anything.

PPAs and official torrents are one thing, anonymous download links are another.

I think we should not allow them, but I'm biased towards the IT Security aspect.

Thoughts on this?
