Yes, but if he would have hosted the files on his own server it would have crashed sooner.
By hosting the file on a different server you free up bandwidth.

But the problem is a single dedicated server will on handle so much traffic...it's like when you have to many programs open a one time your computer is slow. The same thing happens with servers. It's like moving a watermellon through a water hose. Only so much can and will go through at any given time.
