Perhaps break the file into 1 meg chunks .

With the 1 meg chunk being a direct download from a single pc unless the
connection is broken .

Only one person downloading a particular 1 meg chunk at any one time
from that particular pc .

As well as picking the 1 meg chunk at random - the same pc wouldnt be
used twice in a row unless there was no other option .

How does that sound .
