I don't see how you could ever counter an attack of this type, in the
sense that "parts" can always be "grouped" in a way that is unknown to the
node. You could, for instance, have a link page with all of the parts
listed on it. The only solution I can think of is to have clients only
automatically assemble "properly" split and labelled files so that users
would be encouraged by the system to not download files split in weird
ways. This seems like a cheap hack, but I can't think of any better way to
do it.
