 Each peer owns a peer id which is unique and generated during the first start. This ID is used to identify a peer, it's better than the previous usage of peer IP, considering IP. Considering this situation : 

 * _A_ put in queue a file entry _f_ from _B_, _B_ doesn't know the hashes of this file entry. 
 * _B_ change his IP address. 
 * _A_ want to download _f_, it can ask _B_ for the hashes even _B_'s IP changed.
