General Ideas:
     - on 'get file checksum start end\n' a 0 as 'end' is the same as 'size'
       of requested file
     - get_advertisements() needs to return in order to not force the user to
       use threads, maybe a timeout or an amount would do it
       (we should enable both, for example if TIMEOUT 0 is specified it wont
       return. since in between 2 calls to function information could
       get lost, and if the time window fits the time window of a client,
       he wont show up)
     - get_multiple() to send a couple of files with only one open connection
     - sha256sum specified like on git (only the first)

Build and Test:
     - automated tests and build
     - one Makefile for everything (non-recursive make)
     - one tree for every platform, seperation between platform
       and normal code
     - figure out how to do this on Windows without the need for a cygwin
       installation (nmake and mingw?)
     - build Windows version on Linux with mingw and wine

Client Implementation Ideas:
     - ncurses
     - qt
     - oneshot/shell program to advertise/get/send/...
     
 From the HCI-Lessons:
     - Remove Checksum from GUI, no user wants to know that
     - @Lisp GUI: Needs a Search for files and user
     - @Java GUI: Needs a file search
     - Split Username@IP:Port into 3 collumns: username; IP; port
     - Default-Userfriendly-Layout (No IP, no checksum, no LogArea)
     - double-click on a file opens the download area e.g. in a pop-up
