grabbing bits of files from different servers

Hi, i was just wondering if there was a gnutella client that could grab bits and pieces of a certain file from different servers all at once and then piece them back together. (IE: Faster download)
If you could, email me at dragin33@nettaxi.com

This is meant to work in the "freenet"-Network I heard. But I don't know that.
Something like that is not implemented in the Gnutella-protocoll, AFAIK. The feature would be specific to the protocol, not only to the client, for sure

BTW: You should grab one byte from each "server". Grabbing only one bit would make the tcp-overhead enormous. => TRAFFIC

Several developers are working on that: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/messages
