Yes, files (or blocks) you request stick around on your computer. There is a garbage collection command that will remove unpinned files. There is also going to be (not sure if it's implemented yet) the bitswap. More information about the bitswap can be found in the paper.

Yeap! bitswap is currently pretty dumb, but I have a branch that will watch the network for popular blocks and cache them for a short period (until GC). When I get more time, Im going to implement some more interesting AI into it, its currently pretty dumb. (code: https://github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/compare/feat/smartswap)
