In any event, a peer stream cannot be opened if a firewall
prevents it, or a network failure occurs, or a client doesn't
support the peer-to-peer protocol. In all these cases, the client 
is beyond hope. Do you agree? To this point I recommend gracefully 
degrading to sending traffic through the server.
