Back around the turn of the millennium, this was a great way of getting the latest releases of all sorts of warez groups. Put a machine on a public network somewhere, install ftp server, 'forget' to disable anon access to /pub, watch crappy cams of the matrix in your dorm room before anyone else.

(Or get a Linux box, and cross your fingers nobody would find yet another wuftpd buffer overflow)
