//  - pending:     task callback for the number of requests still needing download (detect completion/non-completability)

//  - fetch:       network callback to actually send a particular download request to a physical remote peer
//  - cancel:      task callback to abort an in-flight download request and allow rescheduling it (in case of lost peer)
