You might also want to take note of the browser addons for firefox[1] and chrome[2]. Those redirect requests to public gateways (http://(gateway.)ipfs.ip/ipfs/$path http://(gateway.)ipfs.ip/ipfs/$path) to the http server of the local ipfs daemon. It fetches the content using bitswap protocol and makes it in turn available to other nodes, helping with the distribution.
