DC++

With hashing I can only verify that the individual file is correct/complete, the point of SFV is to verify that I can verify that ...

SFV-verification is great, when the SFV-file exist, the problem is that it normally is no SFV-file. What I propose is that on download client A can ask client B to calculate a SFV-file OnTheFly and then send it back. Since SFV-calculation takes some time the calculated SFV can be cached by client B ...
