I mean that currently, FEC encoding requires the client to: 1) send the entire file to Fred. 2) receive the entire file, plus check blocks from Fred. 3) insert the data and check blocks. If ezFCPlib did the encoding, steps 1 and 2 would be removed from the process. When someone inserts a 40M movie file (or an average CD track in .wav format), Fred must handle at least 120M of data (40 to Fred; step 1, 40 from Fred; step 2, then finally 40M of data/check blocks to insert). -- Jay Oliveri "In the land of the blind, GnuPG ID: 0x5AA5DD54 the one-eyed man is king."
