Detecting peers that are always backed off is a good idea but I'm not sure it solves the free riding problem. What if you send fake replies? "Sure, I inserted that file" ... "Sorry, I looked really hard for that file but I couldn't find it" You can detect peers that never find data, but is it possible to detect peers that never forward inserts?
