I am not not talking about software, I am talking about algorithms.
I do not want to refrain anybody to implement a P2P client based on 
network coding. I am simply
providing new information on the dynamics of the rarest first and choke 
algorithms and I point out misunderstanding
on the dynamics of these algorithms.

If you want to implement a P2P file transfer client based on network 
coding go ahead. That would be nice to have a real client
that can be experimentally compared to BT.

Yes, there are tons of justifications to implement a client based on 
network coding.
