So what it does is locate the same file on multiple stable public web
servers?

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?

Hi
As far as I know, it uses file hash as index to locate download
URLs, when a client finishes downloading, it sends file hash and
URL to Xunlei's server, so the server may associate a file hash
to many URLs in different download servers, indecating that they
are the same file. 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.

Can anyone describe what Xunlei is all about? The rumormill
is suggesting Google is making a crazy huge investment into
this Chinese P2P company, but I don't know anything about
its technology.
It sounds like it started out as a download accelerator
(like FlastGot) and then added in some P2P download
functionality, but I'm not sure what that technology is
like. Does it use central indexing servers? DHT?
Gnutella? Not sure.
Has anyone used it and/or studied it, and can you give your
impressions?
