Well, yes, provided that uploading host support PFS (partial file sharing).
Without PFS, the uploader will not share the file right away, if at all.

To signal its support for PFS, the remote host will include itself
in the alt-locs.  GTKG will treat that as a regular alt-loc, i.e. there
is no special processing for PFS since we also know how to download from
partial sources...

Clear?
