it a small apache module that turns the web server into a seeder to a swarm.
the seeder only provides missing pieces keeping the swarm continuely active without actually serving all the bandwidth.
it is similar to egg drop for irc in that it keeps the swarm alive, looks like a regular user, but only responds to certain request (a piece that is not in the swarm)
basically it guarrentees 100% piece distribution.
