It's more like an FTP server. Someone sets space on their HD and the server runs that. Then they upload all the stuff onto that server, and the other guys can download it.

Most of them are more for pirated software. Most are also private, others require you to upload while you download, or upload some incredibly rare not-yet-released program (ie. Photoshop 8) to get an account, and a couple are actually free.
