The threat is not in that you will have *all* parts of a file, but in that
you will have a suspiciously large number of parts so that it is clear
that you personally requests the file. I doubt that selective caching will
change the caching significantly enough that your cache contents seem
random. Perhaps if you totally rewrote the caching algorithm so that it
*only* cared about key closeness. Then your cache contents would have very
little relation to which files you've requested.
