-Add all cache files to the database.
+Consider what happens when multiple requests for a file are received.
-All files in the cache should be added to the database, so that they can
-be checked to make sure nothing has happened to them. The database would
-then need a flag to indicate files that are hashed and available, but
-that shouldn't be added to the DHT.
+When another request comes in for a file already being downloaded,
+the new request should wait for the old one to finish. This should
+also be done for multiple requests for peer downloads of files with
+the same hash.
Packages.diff files need to be considered.
adding them to the tracking done by the AptPackages module.
+Improve the downloaded and uploaded data measurements.
+
+There are 2 places that this data is measured: for statistics, and for
+limiting the upload bandwidth. They both have deficiencies as they
+sometimes miss the headers or the requests sent out. The upload
+bandwidth calculation only considers the stream in the upload and not
+the headers sent, and it also doesn't consider the upload bandwidth
+from requesting downloads from peers (though that may be a good thing).
+The statistics calculations for downloads include the headers of
+downloaded files, but not the requests received from peers for upload
+files. The statistics for uploaded data only includes the files sent
+and not the headers, and also misses the requests for downloads sent to
+other peers.
+
+
+Rehash changed files instead of removing them.
+
+When the modification time of a file changes but the size does not,
+the file could be rehased to verify it is the same instead of
+automatically removing it. The DB would have to be modified to return
+deferred's for a lot of its functions.

Consider storing deltas of packages.
