Segmented File Transfer

Segmented File Transfer

Segmented file-transfer (also known as multisource file-transfer or swarming file-transfer) is the coordinated transmission of a computer file sourced from multiple servers to a single destination. It can be applied as well when downloading the same file from the same server in various parts, like some download managers do. A computer program downloads (retrieves) different portions of the file from various sources simultaneously, and assembles the file on the destination computer data storage device.

Famous quotes containing the words file and/or transfer:

    Probably nothing in the experience of the rank and file of workers causes more bitterness and envy than the realization which comes sooner or later to many of them that they are “stuck” and can go no further.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
