The purpose of the IDS Smart Client is to allow large quantities of data to be transferred to your machine from a remote IDS instance. This could be many small files or one very large file. It is specifically to cover the case when the web service interface of the IDS to get the data directly is not convenient because the total volume of data is too large.
A "personal server" runs on your machine. You issue requests to it from a command line or GUI and in the case of get requests it will bring the data back to a location within your home directory. It can be queried from the command line to find out what is happening and the GUI can poll to provide a nice status panel.
