Ok. I looked examples multiple times. Maybe I got something wrong. I
need one clarification:

Let me take Fortune Server as example (without threads):
And let replace fortune string with much larger data like file content.
If i start multiple clients, what will happen?
1. All downloading at same time?
2. One is downloading, other are waiting?

I thought that only one client is downloading data...

Thank you
