Yes they were.  By contiguous, I ment that we don't try to represent
each individual block.

Matthew, you can nit-pick all you want in an effort to disguise the
fact that you have lost every argument you started today, but you
aren't fooling anyone :-) Normally I wouldn't gloat, but you are being
so damn arrogant it is hard not to.

Not necessarily, it would be easier, when we are going to retry a node,
to put it back in the green state, but even if we were to do that, it is
a pretty trivial modification to my proposal.

You need 100 blocks, out of 150.  You have successfully downloaded 20,
with 10 failures. The green area would be 80 blocks in length, 
representing the number of blocks you must download at this point to 
successfully reassemble the file.
