Description
Summary
The file-sharing example works only when provider and client are on the same machine.
To reproduce: copy application onto another machine; follow README.md to start the provider there replacing loopback IP with 0.0.0.0; start retriever from different machine replacing --peer argument with appropriate address as given from starting the provider.
Expected behavior
transfer file to retriever stdout
Actual behavior
retriever panics in main.rc:71:14 "Dial to succeed: ..." and the provider in network.rs:329:18 "ExpiredListenAddr".

Research direction
Follow README.md to reproduce the file-sharing example with the provider and retriever on different machines. Inspect the retriever failure at main.rc:71:14 and the provider failure at network.rs:329:18, then trace the relevant connection and listen-address handling. Done means the file transfers to retriever stdout without either panic.
