I'm still concerned about re-request flooding, ie request, unrequest, request,
unrequest, request, unrequest.

Since the client doesn't even have to bother downloading the data himself, it
would be very easy to stage such an attack, and because you get a more or less
deterministically identical patch each time, you could seriously hurt those
nodes capacity...
