Well, 99.9% of the planet can't write html, so chances are it's a bit harder to write an app than you think.
Killing multi streams and downloads kills multi-threads, nobody can watch two movies at once anyway, so allowing more than one at a time, is asking to be pirated.
Ripping takes processing power, just like it does on your pc. Start stacking them together and see how many you can do at once, even on a unix box, it has limits. Now times that by a few 100,000 porn sites.... it's not just a download anymore, it's a rip, download and trans-code.
