udpcast is a nice little utility made for multicast file transfer. Its most common use is when you need to get the same disk image to a lot of computers, so you use multicasting instead of the original unicast solution. I use it at LAN parties, when people want to get files off me. Too bad for my win32 buddies. :-P
