Can someone explain why I might use this instead of downloading a select group of files using a torrent file/magnet link? Is the advantage that it selectively downloads files on an as-needed basis? Or, is the product niche somehow related to the fact that the torrent file/magnet link is mounted as a filesystem, instead of only as a collection of files and folders?
