Over time, the large node simply accumulates more data from Freenet. This means there should be more nodes which point to data on the large node. Thus, there will be more requests routed to the large node. _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
