The writer is experiencing issues with Sourceforge not sending updates, but can view replies online. They propose a simpler protocol for Bitcoin transactions to be downloaded separately by nodes, which could allow requests for any level of the merkle tree. The proposal will enable nodes to request multiple transactions at once and provide protection against future demands. The writer suggests analyzing how beneficial this proposal would be and measuring peer behavior.

Finally, they recommend discussing these issues well in advance to avoid any last-minute problems.
