"Do Not Abuse My File Server i have had too set limits because people were abusing it and my ISP almost shut me down! Thus Combustion Serv is Distro only Hence Forth" What does that mean? What does Distro mean?

In other words, the fileserver in question is only available to certain regulars in the channel and is no longer available to "the general public".
