just a short question - what is "Assets in this source have public URLs" good for? Oh course, I can't use getUrl() in the templates, yes, but I can still get the filename etc. So I don't see the use of this parameter?
Another question: when I upload assets to craft, sometimes they are put in the folder I expect, sometimes craft creates a subfolder (named like the asset-id I guess) and puts the file inside that folder. In which case a subfolder is created?
It let's you define "private" asset sources that you don't want publicly exposed on the web.

If you're uploading these files through an Assets field, then that field's setting can define a dynamic subfolder path where the upload will be saved based on the contents of the entry/user/tag/category/etc. that it is being saved in. Sounds like that's what you've got defined.
