Comment(by bemasc):

 After looking at the code, the problem is that Read suspends so
 aggressively that it will not even receive the "Join" notification when
 someone else joins the activity and requests the file.  The sleep code
 may even interrupt the transfer.  This is a major bug in Read.
 Fundamentally, Read must never suspend once it is shared, because it must
 receive multicast notifications in order for sharing to work.
