I was caught by an ad today when surfing internet. It was from Xunlei which said "畅爽迅雷 离线下载". Curiosity pushed me hard to find out what was behind the so-called offline download mode, and from this page(the landing page of the ad) I found the answer.
After some reading I realized that the offline download mode was as simply as that Xunlei first download what you want on the internet and store the targeted file(s) on its own servers, so later you can retrieve it/them from its storage servers instead of downloading those files from internet sources.
This is really a clear way to bill customers as the potential need for this service is huge. Nice move, and let's see if Xunlei would get some bucks by this creativity.
