Question Algorithm behind swarm downloads?

I'm curious what's happening under the hood with swarm downloads in the context of piecing together files that have different bitrates. Does swarming only use files that have matching bitrates, or is a least common denominator algorithm for bit rates used thereby throwing away data for files recorded at a higher bit rate. Its an intriguing concept and im curious how you solved the problem.

Thanks,
