    multisource?

    when i add various users on one file to the download queue, do i download off the ones with slots open?, or are they there in case the other user disconnects?

    in other words, is there multisource downloading?

    As far as I know you only download from one person at a time (at least in DC, DC++, BCDC++). Adding more people gives you more sources which you'll connect to if you get disconnected from the present source.

    I think Reverse Connect (another variation of DC) has some sort of multi-sourceing, but I have not used it myself.

    Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".

    That is correct DC doesnt support multisource downloads or "swarming" but I too believe that RevConnect does support it. I also know that multisourcing is frowned upon on most hubs as it eats more bandwidth
