anyway I still don't see the benefit, or the time saving, of not downloading the whole eobok file- we're talking kilobytes, not Gigabytes

Pretty easy to set up a proper server, really... You install it like any program. And the server explicitly allows certain things to be done on behalf of the client, depending on the server and configuration, even here. Peer-to-peer fileshares are totally different, yes. And the Content server has nothing to do with them, as it is a server, not a networked drive.
