This is a critical point in the project because managing the connections and pieces involves a lot of interesting decisions and tradeoffs. So far we’ve mostly been following the specs directly, but from now on there are many possible solutions and I’ll be going through just one. That’s why I recommend taking some time to consider how you would implement these message handlers yourself before continuing. Of course a big concern is efficiency. We want our downloads to finish as soon as possible. The tricky part about this is that not all peers will have all parts. Also not all peers can upload at the same rate. On top of that, it’s possible for connections to drop at any time, so we need a way of dealing with failed requests. How can we distribute the work of sharing the right pieces among all peers in order to have the fastest download speeds?
