Paraget implements getting a single file in parallel from different mirror
|
|
sites.
|
|
|
|
Given that there are mirror-sites for the file one is downloading, one can
|
|
in principle accomplish a much greater bandwidth by downloading from all
|
|
the sites in parallel . This is accomplished by dividing the file being
|
|
fetched into several pieces, and by getting each piece from a different
|
|
server, and then re-assembling them.
|
|
|
|
If there are enough mirror sites, this partitioning makes it so that the
|
|
bottleneck is now placed at the client end, maxing the client's connection.
|
|
|
|
Paraget is designed to not only do basic n -equal-piece partitioning of a
|
|
file and sending requests out to n servers for data, but to also be dynamic
|
|
during the downloading process. For example if one server is too slow, and
|
|
paraget was done with faster server downloading its piece
