Similar to how the torrent protocol works. Unfortunately ftp and http don't have this functionality built into the protocol so without something like ssh access this isn't going to do much such as downloading from public servers.
Practically I don't think a segment of over 2 megabytes without a hash is a good idea. Companies like Microsoft give md5 or sha1 hashes of multigigabyte ISOs for example. But giving a 2MB segmented sets of hashes is still a very small amount of data. Not sure why at this day and age, this is not solved. Bandwidth efficiency for large downloads remains an annoying issue in various contexts.
