Ares question

[rainbowdemon]

This is not news, but a question. I was downloading a movie with Ares this morning. Under "status" it said "downloading" just as it should. When the d/l was almost done the status changed to "uploading". This is in the download part at the top.. Than it want back to "downloading". It did this several times before the d/l completed. I've been using Ares for a long time, and I've never seen this before. What happened? Did I just get busted?

:wha':

it's the ares partial sharing going on. As you download, you share whatever you have if someone requests it. I'm sure you know what partial file sharing is, so that's all it is.

Like Bitorrent. I've never seen Ares do that before.

sounds to me like you had enough of the file to begin shareing that same file with someone else.

but, you could believe this instead!

the ability has been there for a good while now. I can't say how many builds ago, because I don't remember, but it's been awhile.

I think it was CTC Command that posted saying Ares could do this. That was a while ago. The upload feature doen't seem to be used much by Ares. Or perhaps you noitice it more with larger files, which I don't use Ares for.
