The client threshold controls
the creation of independent clients according to the percentage of
file blocks the client has received. From our experiments we found
the system to perform well with client threshold around 0.75. Lower
client thresholds reduce data sharing, increase disk access activity
and lead to longer download duration (Figure 16), while
higher client thresholds make the system operation less stable
especially with large number of clients.
