Weighing in after reading 1/3rd of the discussion and getting somewhat
tired of having it bubble back up to my inbox all the time:
TCP is pretty good. I've been tethered to my phone for a few days, and
I've had my connection drop out for minutes at a time, and my TCP
connections aren't dying.
=> /foo.mp3 foo.mp3 (14 MiB) SHA256:e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
This is good enough for me. Implement a progress viewer in your client
that shows the total amount downloaded so far and prints out the
checksum at the end and that'll do just fine.
