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.

Famous quotes containing the words similarity, enhanced and/or transfer:
“Incompatibility. In matrimony a similarity of tastes, particularly the taste for domination.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
“It is a relief to read some true book, wherein all are equally dead,—equally alive. I think the best parts of Shakespeare would only be enhanced by the most thrilling and affecting events. I have found it so. And so much the more, as they are not intended for consolation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
