What I want to know is how WinMX handles its multisource transfers. Even when recieving from ten differents sources the file always downloads from begining to end, not in random chunks; it acts like a single source download. It does seem to use a bit more upstream bandwidth during downloads and lots of processor time too; mayby it makes dozens of 5K or 10K transfer requests per second and keeps a close watch to make sure the chunks download in the right order.
