Abstract
System and method for downloading portions of a remotely located network object to produce a completely downloaded local copy of the network object. The system and method include and involve a server facility and a software delegate. The server facility is configured to store and to serve the software delegate and a network object. The server facility is further configured to be accessed by a client via an electronic data network, such as the Internet and WWW. The software delegate can reside and be executed on a client, and is configured to control the downloading of portions of a network object from the server facility to the client via the electronic data network, until a completely downloaded copy is stored locally on the client.
