There is a company called xunlei in chinese, it's english name is Thunder.
They produce a program called xunlei or Thunder.
A lot of people are using this program to do downloading.

This program can download file from multi-servers or multi p-2-p network.

It's a good downloading client for user, while a very bad client for
sysadmin and netadmin.
