The client parses the .getxfer manifest and opens multiple concurrent TCP or UDP streams to the destination server. By carving the file into discrete blocks and transmitting them simultaneously across separate channels, it bypasses the throughput limitations imposed by network latency and single-thread CPU bottlenecks. 3.
