You want to run anonymous archive and want to keep lamers out.
You want to share something without ruining your valueable
bandwidth.
Busy sites
You have overloaded archive site.
You want to share something without ruining your valueable
bandwidth or latency. FSP protocol is slower than TCP based
protocol it means that more bandwith will be left for your own use.
Important point is that starting data sharing via FSP do not
considerably raises your network latency because FSP can
have just 1 packet floating in network. In ideal condition you will
not notice increased latency at all.
You have overloaded archive site. It is historicaly proven fact
that FSP handles overloaded lines or sites better than anything else.
FSP is very suitable for distributing updates to very large number
of subscribers because it can easily handle traffic spikes without
breaking connections and it can be very easily distributed between
multiple servers because it is more or less connectionless.
You do want to share large data files (movies, ISO images) on
slow (or you do not want to waste valuable bandwidth) lines.
