-HFS is a file server offering a virtual file system (vfs).

-Listing files, searching files, zipping folders, it's all very fast, streamed while data is produced, so you don't have to wait.

+- It's all very **fast**. Try download zipping 100GB, it starts immediately!

+- **Control bandwidth**, decide how much to give.
