Well, seriously, there is no support for downloading files backwards neither in Gnutella protocol nor in HTTP itself.

No-o -- I was just talking about 2 segments. Fixed. Not three or more. I don't know how much more you'll gain from having more than 2 anyway.
So what about if you have that? 2 segments? It sounds pretty goot to me, this "downloading backwards" thing. I mean, I am not convied it makes sense, but it's at least an idea.

Please don't trash the whole idea from the very beginning, but let's talk a bit about it.
