You are correct, Mike. I do not fear akamai.

Akamai also offers a peer-to-peer file distribution service, the one tbird refers to. Facebook does NOT use it.

Many of your popular online games DO use it to speed up distribution of the game files out to the players. Before they use your computer to help distribute game files, you must click on a box to agree. But Facebook does not use this service.
