Presumably. I doubt very much it would be compatible with the network
architecture as it is now. Widespread use of splitfiles should improve
network
performance and availability though, I suspect, as much quoted problem of
current network is not enough requests.
A problem with split files is that they are a threat to anonymity - if you
have all parts of a file in your store, it is almost certain that it was you
who requested the file.
(This has been pointed out on this list before, I was just a bit astonished
that you promote splitfiles so wholeheartedly.)
