   These two definitions sound completely backwards, and will make a comment later   
   in the reply on it as well. But okay.

   Which would also display a "trickle effect" of sorts. Maybe you're looking at   
   it a different way. But either way, it's not a big deal. :)

   So here you're describing a downlink as someone who is receiving echo and file   
   feeds from you, not the other way around. According to your definitions above,   
   this would be wrong, no?   
      
    > Some Downlinks feed others, that's their choice.   
      
   ...Which would start the "trickle effect" now, wouldn't it? LOL
