Often the file you like to download is available on several
different hosts. Phex will request different segments of the file
from each host in parallel. After successfully downloading a
segment Phex will merge it with the other segments of that file.
This results in a much higher download speed. If a host is too
slow the segment is split during download and given to another host.
To make sure you never run out of hosts Phex is able to find new
download hosts by itself with the automatic search functionality
and features the Download Mesh.
You can choose for each download whether the segments should be
chosen according to their availability (rarest first,
BitTorrent-Style), their place in the file (earlier segments first,
useful for previewing the file) or randomly.
