It's extremely +easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. +Whenever more than one person is downloading at once +they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving +the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many +simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server +remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new +upload capacity. |
