Specifications have been updated. Most notable changes are that parsing is now done by new lines instead of spaces for almost every occasion, simplifying reading and writing of protocol messages. Also, some updates have been done in the file result messages, most notably by adding the originating regex expression for identification.

UPDATED:

GET message file length should be the length of the stream the client is requesting. -1 for full file, otherwise the amount of data to send in this stream.

FILE message definition did not match the format/example. Format/examples were correct, message definition left out segment length

PEER message did not define the case in which there are only 2 nodes on the network, so the RQST/JOIN message can not be fulfilled. RQST/JOIN should now be fulfilled with a PEER message as per the protocol, but with no elements in the list
