Using Altnet brings numerous advantages for file distribution:

1. Reduce Bandwidth Consumption
Altnet results in an efficient network usage, making the publishers use dramatically less bandwidth. Downloads are distributed to many sources and the number of sources is increasing with demand.

2. Load Balancing
P2P technology results in natural load balancing in the system. As downloads increase, so do peer sources in the network. It is simple - supply grows with demand. This ensures that you will never run out of web server capacity.

3. Security
Our P2P technology ensures that the accurate and unaltered file is securely delivered to the end-user. This is done by an digitally encrypted signature file, which ensures that the file received is the correct published file and that the file is unaltered by any intermediate steps.

4. Scalability
P2P is ideal for big networks, and scales well into millions simultaneous online users. Joltid has created a system where there is no limit to the number of concurrent users.

5. Low Latency
We have developed a new technology for reducing the latency experienced with first generation P2P systems, it dramatically reduces the latency, allowing downloads to start as quickly as from a file server. The result is that P2P downloads are just as quick to start as from a file server.

6. Download Speed
Our P2P downloads are fast. Since downloads come from multiple sources at the same time, the speed is always greater than the fastest individual stream. Also, quality of service settings makes it possible to set minimum download speed, where a fallback server is used to guarantee minimum speed.
