Alot of clients use different decoders for reporting bitrates. But in the end the file size is still the same and the clients compare files for resume even if a different bitrate is reported. Makes me think that is not the problem.
Well, the only clean way to go forward with multi-sourced OpenNap downloads IMHO is to extend the protocol to include messages necessary for doing multi-sourcing, e.g. messages that allow clients to request chunks of files and so on.
Then programs can be written to use these new features of the protocol to cleanly implement multi-sourcing. Every other approach is bound to fail.
