These factors do not come into play when you're talking about P2P 
protocols that use seeded chunks to share their files.  When a 
particular file is split up into chunks and each chunk is appropriately 
named on the host, the file itself (depending on the P2P protocol) 
doesn't always harbor a descriptive name.  The name of the file is 
stored in the protocol and file names/dates can very well be different.

These aren't the same issues as verifying a filesystem that you 
control.  It's a lot more complex than that.
