Yes, of course.

Let's take an example:
Overnet (DHT, Kademlia, GUID) supports multiple source downloads: for example,
let's assume that there is a data block which I want get. Now, when I found this
specific data block from Overnet, Overnet start's downloading it. However,
Overnet constantly seeks other sources for this data block (fragments of this
data block which I don't have yet) for faster downloading.

Is this kind of model possible in Gzz p2p ?
