-PeerManager needs to download large files from multiple peers.
-
-The PeerManager currently chooses a peer at random from the list of 
-possible peers, and downloads the entire file from there. This needs to 
-change if both a) the file is large (more than 512 KB), and b) there are
-multiple peers with the file. The PeerManager should then break up the 
-large file into multiple pieces of size < 512 KB, and then send requests 
-to multiple peers for these pieces.
-
-This can cause a problem with hash checking the returned data, as hashes 
-for the pieces are not known. Any file that fails a hash check should be 
-downloaded again, with each piece being downloaded from different peers 
-than it was previously. The peers are shifted by 1, so that if a peers 
-previously downloaded piece i, it now downloads piece i+1, and the first 
-piece is downloaded by the previous downloader of the last piece, or 
-preferably a previously unused peer. As each piece is downloaded the 
-running hash of the file should be checked to determine the place at 
-which the file differs from the previous download.
-
-If the hash check then passes, then the peer who originally provided the 
-bad piece can be assessed blame for the error. Otherwise, the peer who 
-originally provided the piece is probably at fault, since he is now 
-providing a later piece. This doesn't work if the differing piece is the 
-first piece, in which case it is downloaded from a 3rd peer, with 
-consensus revealing the misbehaving peer.
+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.
