What is FreeBSD?
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development.

As for who uses it? On the site noted above you can find a list of companies (a partial list mind you). Here is a

phttpget
PHTTPGET(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PHTTPGET(8)
NAME
phttpget -- retrieve multiple files via pipelined HTTP
SYNOPSIS
phttpget server file ...
DESCRIPTION
The phttpget utility is a minimalist pipelined HTTP client, which is used to retrieve multiple files from one server, and saves the down-
loaded files in the current working directory, using the last portion of their download path as file names.
By making several "in flight" HTTP requests, it can dramatically increase performance when a large number of small files need to be down-
loaded.
The freebsd-update(8) and portnap(8) tools use phttpget to download binary patch files.
ENVIRONMENT
HTTP_PROXY URL of the proxy to use for HTTP requests.
HTTP_PROXY_AUTH Authorization parameters for the HTTP proxy.
HTTP_USER_AGENT The User-Agent string to use for HTTP requests. The default is ``phttpget/0.1''.
HTTP_TIMEOUT Timeout for HTTP request in seconds.
SEE ALSO
fetch(1), freebsd-update(8), portsnap(8)
AUTHORS
The phttpget utility was written by Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> for use with portsnap(8) and later with freebsd-update(8). This
manual page was written by Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org>.
