Yes, data is fragmented and served in chunks just like Bittorrent. You might only serve small chunks of any given piece of data, and as a downloader you may be downloading different chunks from different peers.
- mirimir 9y agoAre the chunks encrypted or obscured? That is, could an adversary with local access to the node determine what object a particular chunk is part of? How about an adversary that can see traffic, but not the node's storage?
