3 questions about coralizing

[Nick_Hope]

Hi all,

My pictures and videos are horribly slow to download so I'm considering coralizing the links (i.e. incorportating .nyud.net.8090 into the link addresses). So I have 2 questions about coralizing:

1. Am I right to think that the downloads of coralized files will get faster as more and more people access them and they get into more of the Coral caches?

2. If I use coralized links, might this negatively affect my chances of building a better Google ranking? I worry that coralized links don't really point to the site itself and that more people might hotlink to the coralized material and bypass the site completely. Hotlinking is disabled on my whole site.

I hope this isn't too dumb, but what on earth is 'coralizing', 'coralized links' in particular?
It sounds like some deleterious marine phenomenon due to global warming. - Larry
