possibility, since that would handle buffering, and it might avoid needing
to change interfaces as much. It would still need a new interface since the
current one does not guarantee the file is written in-order.
A fifo is a possibility, but would certianly not work with remotes
that don't write to the file in-order. Also resuming a download would not
work with a fifo, the sending remote wouldn't know where to resume from.
