Download mode of special game downloader

The download mode of dedicated game downloader is one of the most popular download modes for game clients. For gamers, the operation is extremely simple, the stability is strong, the game search is rapid, and the post-management is convenient. Moreover, the automatic installation and data maintenance of the game client can be realized through a special downloader, which is favored by the majority of gamers.

Major game manufacturers have successively launched their own game-specific downloaders, such as Blizzard downloader and Shanda downloader, and some specialized manufacturers have also launched open game download tools.

HTTP download mode

HTTP and FTP are abbreviations of two network transmission protocols, FTP is abbreviation of file transmission protocol, and HTTP is abbreviation of hypertext transmission protocol. They are the way of exchanging data between computers and the two most classic ways of downloading files. FTP is specially used for downloading, while HTTP is mainly used for browsing web pages, but it can also be used for downloading. The principle of these two download methods is not complicated, that is, users get in touch with the server that provides files according to certain rules (protocols) and move the files to their own computers. FTP download mode is the oldest and has been widely used in the days without WWW. HTTP appeared late, but it is also widely used now. In fact, if you download just for the sake of downloading, then you don't need to divide them so clearly. The download methods and tools used in these two ways are almost the same. You must obtain a valid resource link or server address before downloading FTP or HTTP.

BT download mode

As far as use is concerned, the use of BT can be said to be extremely simple, even much simpler than PUB download. There are not so many skills in using BT. You just need to install the client, download the seed, and you can start downloading immediately. As far as the download speed of a single file is concerned, BT also has great advantages. If enough people download it, it can easily reach more than 50K or even 100k or more than 200K K. Compared with PUB, the essence of BT is that the more people download, the faster it is (this is the essence of all P2P software), and PUB is that the more people download, the slower it is. Imagine a very classic blockbuster.

At the same time, it is staged on BT and PUB, and many people download it. The result is self-evident. BT is a file distribution protocol, which identifies content through URL and integrates seamlessly with the network. Compared with HTTP/FTP protocol, MMS/RTSP streaming media protocol and other downloading methods, it has the advantage that the downloader of a file keeps uploading data to the other party while downloading, so that the file source (which can be a server source or a personal source, generally referring to the first seed producer or the first publisher of seeds) can support a large number of downloaders to download at the same time with limited load, so P2P transmission methods such as BT also have the characteristics of "the more people download, the faster the download speed".

Thunder download

The multi-resource hyper-threading technology used by Xunlei is based on the grid principle, which can effectively integrate the existing server and computer resources on the network, form a unique thunder network, and transmit it at the fastest speed through various data files in thunder network. Multi-resource Hyper-Threading Technology also has the function of Internet download load balancing. Thunder network can balance the server resources and effectively reduce the server load without reducing the user experience.

The disadvantage is that it takes up a lot of memory. Generally, as long as you set the "disk cache" in the Thunderbolt configuration larger (which naturally protects the disk better), the memory occupation will be more; There are too many advertisements. I think as long as Thunder is willing to improve these two items, then Thunder will become very successful.

CDN download

CDN space refers to a space system that uses CDN technology to embed traditional virtual hosts, so that the functions of traditional virtual hosts can be doubled.

It adds a new layer of network architecture to the existing Internet, and combines new network technologies such as CDN, intelligent domain name resolution and load balancing system. It brings conceptual changes to the traditional virtual host, and it is a new technical application of virtual host. Provide users with high-performance and high-cost virtual hosting technology, and help users to make their websites have running technology that only large websites can enjoy with less investment. The concept of the second generation virtual host system adopts the standard of big station operation in the system operation space, so that all small and medium-sized websites can enjoy the treatment of big websites, access them normally and quickly anytime and anywhere, and truly achieve great achievements for small websites.

Media download

Through cooperation with the media, the download mode of client download is diverted. The way to change it is that you can choose a download point that users are familiar with to download, and the download methods generally include the above methods.
