Ohh that takes me back, that feature was used heavily in the FXP warez scene (the one the proper warez people looked down on), you’d find vulnerable FTP servers to gain access to, and the best ones would support this. That way you could quickly spread releases over multiple mirrors without being slowed down by your home internet.
