Is using WWW to download a server on Update Function bad?
Im calling a website using WWW on an Update function. Is this bad for the server? Am I making to many calls to the website? Would it effect the server in anyway?

It is bad in general. First off, you may reach the request limit. Second a WWW call is a IEnumerator and your update cannot be. Third, what is the point of constant request while the previous are not yet done?
So all in all, yes it is bad.
So if this is true, someone could purposely sabotage someones website by simply doing this in there unity project?
I would think the server is meant to have a basic protection against DoS.
And if you would develop an app that create a DoS, it is actually a crime in most countries.
So yes, if you give someone a gun, he could rob a bank.
