If it is a 600 MB file, the client will probably partially share the
file before the end of the download. Moreover, you are normally
uploading to several clients concurrently, and you will probably
continue after the first mirror. And at least, you have some
guarrantee that the file is completely mirrored somewhere, and not
only some chunks here and there.
