That was essentially my point -- dividing the file into chunks might work well under ideal circumstances, i.e., when downloading files that are hosted by large numbers of hosts, all of whom support the feature. Unfortunately, that simply doesn't reflect the reality of the Gnutella network as it stands today. The overwhelming majority of the files I might actually want to download are available from only one host at any given time (at best).
