电骡功能介绍——Intelligent Chunk Selection

ICS功能是指客户端之间互相交换最多下载的文件块信息，其它客户端就可以选择下载少的文件块下载了。

With Intelligent Chunk Selection users exchange informations about which chunk is being downloaded at the moment, then a user can choose the less-downloaded (priority: spread the file faster).

In ICS the user preference "first/last chunk" catches only when there are no rare chunks (priority: spread the file).

In release mode, the shortest-to-complete chunk that is not being downloaded at the moment by any other client is selected.

This increases the probability you and the other clients download different chunks and keep (globally) a complete source for the file, even if a couple of sources become unavailable.

• You get a detailed view of parts spreading with double click on file in shared files window

There are three possibilities:

• RELEASE: complete sources <= 3: priority to upload/download the rarest chunks
• SPREAD: complete sources between 4 and 10: small chunks first, rare chunks later
• SHARE: complete sources over 10: normal behaviour (ECS or first/last)
