Doing that makes things worse, a lot worse. If any one node only has,
say, %5 of the parts in a inciminating file you can be pretty sure
it's from other nodes requesting data through it. If it has %100 you
can be pretty sure that the user requested the file. The same applies
to websites on freenet. (freesites)

We should have an option for locally-requested files to not be cached
on your node because of this. Then you would have to examine your
neighboring nodes to figure out what you've been requesting, a very
difficult task.
