How does the Download Centre work?

The Europe Online Download Centre is a multicast system. That is, we send downloads out once and many people are able to receive it at the same time. When the user requests the download, the file is retrieved and placed into a queuing system. When the download has been slotted for delivery, it is broadcast out via satellite to all users. Only those users that have requested the download will be able to receive it on their PC.
