Hi Lemon, I don't think there is any download from a user at all .. It is just the identification of multiple download servers from where you can get the same file.

when your talking about URL's does that mean Xunlei only works with TCP/IP and you can only download from those users who arn't behind a firewall or have opened up their firewall on port 80? *"Rick L.Y.

When another client download a file from a URL, it send the URL to Xunlei's server, and the server will return to the cilent other URLs it can download in parallel. Compare to downloading from a download server with multi-threads in parallel, downloading from many different servers with multi-threads at the same time will be much faster. And now, somebody told me it has supported BT protocol, but I haven't used this function, and I don't know how it works. BTW: Newest version FlashGet is very similar to Xunlei, but the latter works better, I think because it has more users, that means it has more (file hash, URL) pairs, especially in China. 2006/12/29, David Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Can anyone describe what Xunlei is all about?
