So, how does Tezfiles leech work? It's actually quite simple. When a user uploads a file to Tezfiles, it is broken down into smaller pieces and distributed across a network of user computers. These user computers, or "leeches," then store a portion of the file and make it available for other users to download. When a user wants to download a file, their computer connects to the leech network and begins to download the file piece by piece from multiple leeches.

Free Tezfiles downloads are capped at minimal speeds, often taking hours for small files.
