Similarity Enhanced Transfer
Similarity-Enhanced Transfer (SET) is a technique for improving the speed at which peer-to-peer file sharing and content distribution systems can share data. SET works by finding similar copies of the desired file, and looking for subsets of those copies that match (or are similar to) subsets of the desired file. If these are found, the similar copies can be used as additional download sources, which can increase the download rate as long as the downloader's connection is not already saturated.

I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
