The sender could open a download connection and stall it as far as possible (maybe keep the download rate shaped to some bytes/second, to prevent an inactivity timeout). That would open a large time window for further downloads.
- AgentME 9y agoI assume the file would be deleted as soon as any client finishes downloading. (If the files are backed by regular files on a unix-like system, then the existing open handles to the file will keep working, allowing currently-connected clients to finish downloading, but preventing any new clients from starting the download.)
