Do you mean a a single (in this case Python) class? I don't think we get
some advantage. I explain:

1. The Set of Rules (SoR) have been designed to be as independent as
possible one of the other. This helps to the programmer to select (in the
case by using the inheritance mechanism of Python) the most configuration
of the implementation of the protocol that better fits its requirements.

2. ACS has been designed to "destroy" the P2P philosophy (each peer must
send the same amount of data it receives). This should be only allowed if
the team this is not a problem.

3. LRS try to retransmit those chunks that has been lost by the most part
of or even all the team (usually, those chunks that were lost traveling
from the splitter to a peer ... in this SoR we do not think that this
splitter is not going to be a selfish peer).

As you can see, there is a little or not any relationship between ACS and
LRS.

Your time scheduling and project selection seems to be fine to me :-)

Not :-)

In fact, this summer we will move the whole project to GitHub almost
certainly.

Lot of thanks for your time and interest!
