on larger servers it might not have as much of an impact, but as far as i'm aware it works similarly to uTorrent's seeding in addition to compressing the addon files during downloads.

If a server does not use FastDL many players end up not wanting to join at all. You should consider having FastDL or WorkshopDL

FastDL is the best, and fastest way for your players to download server content. It is not easy to setup; one step wrong and your new players won't be able to join due download errors...
So, if you don't want to go over FastDL setup madness, "WorkshopDL" is your best option, it is still fast enough. I won't be explaining how that works tho, but it is way much easier, you can find tutorials on how to setup it up.

Just don't use "ServerDL" (engine's mechanism).
