Yep, that's exactly it. Basically, since Gnutella servents use HTTP to complete file transfers, HTTP itself has a provision to request a range of bytes of a file from a host. The Gnutella client stores each part seperately until it's done downloading and then joins them together after all parts have downloaded successfully.
