I have been wondering what path do files take when saving to a different machine. Lets say you have a computer that has file sharing that you store all your content there. When you use another computer (a laptop) and choose to save a file from the Net into that other computer.

Does the file go from the router to that computer or does it go from the router to your laptop and back to that other machine?
