Faster Downloads about airshare

That would be magic-wormhole, the sole purpose of airshare was to be completely offline. But maybe we can open up multiple ports from one sender and the receiver to collect from multiple ports. That would certainly increase the speed

My bad, by relay I meant a local relay. Exactly similar to what you're talking about. Let me know if this works. Would be glad to submit a PR.

Sure! Work on it, benchmark it and raise a PR. We'll work it out !.

Quick pointer

Look onto this thread, this will improve the speed of downloads in Airshare by just utilising multiple connections, downloading chunks and piece them all together once its done

I guess this has a better perfomance to complexity ratio than whatever you'r already trying to achieve with the things you mentioned above. So check the benchmarks and go forward with it
