When peer-downloading is enabled, your computer can serve as an upload source for other computers -- without adverse impacts to your computing. Peer-to-peer downloading can provide faster, more effective downloads. The NetSession Interface contains no adware or spyware, is safe and secure, uses minimal resources, and provides you the ability to manage and control its actions, including the ability to uninstall it if you do not want it on your computer. ------------ How It Works ------------ The NetSession Interface does not have a noticeable desktop presence during downloads, since its work is integrated into the sites or applications that use the service. However, there are two interfaces you can use to manage downloads and the interface itself: admintool and a Control Panel extension... how to uninstall... read the readme.txt....
