1. You can do progressive downloading with BitTorrent using a sliding-window rarest-first policy. Thus I'm not convinced that a new protocol is a good idea. 2. The PDTP spec is missing the client state machine and server connection state machine. 3a. What is the rationale for the server-oriented PDTP design? 3b. What is the server bandwidth usage? Intuitively, it will be higher than other protocols. If so, PDTP must provide some benefit that compensates -- what is it? 4. How is upstream bandwidth managed?
