I think you made a good point but I even would go a step further. Consider 
this: A downloads a file from D thus using D-b-A  (with 50% packet loss). But 
each packet has to be acknowledged and every second acknowledgement is also 
lost (via A-c-D) . That is why D will resend every second packet and the 
throughput will suffer even more.

I think we should find a solution here but up to now I don't have a clue how 
to do it.

Regards,
Marek
