Considering he was able to buy hosing on Amazon’s server farm and used to own his own server farm- plus the amount of resources The Jester needed to take him down once, I doubt a simple ActiveX script will do much, and I am sure that Assange has some massive funding behind him (Soros?)

This is true, but the intent isn't to take the site down, that is illegal and can get you into trouble.

100 people running this simple script can cost him a LOT of money and possibly irritate his hosting company enough to decide he isn't worth the money.

That's your position and it's technically correct. But I see it as anything that can make it more painful for him is a victory.

I let the script run overnight while I sleep and usually download well over 200GB just by MYSELF... and it costs me nothing. Imagine if 1000 people did that. The impact is a lot larger than you are making it out to be.
