Initial Comment:
Reported at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=180950 by Kevin "Starfox" Arima

would like to see a feature where axel would "oversample" the downloads
so that it can check to see whether the file from different sources are
identical.  ie:

[ e n t i r e  f i l e ]
[source 1]
       [source 2]
              [source 3]

Then would check the overlapping portions to see whether or not the
portions are identical, and raise a warning if it is not.  Something
around 1K-2K should suffice.

--oversample[=x]    -O [x]   Oversample downloads (default 1024)
