[freenet-chat] Basic question about inserts

[David McNab]

When a typical file gets inserted, how many nodes actually end up with a copy of the file? If I have htl=n, does this mean the file actually gets cached onto n nodes?   I ask because I inserted some stuff at a high htl For various reasons, I've had to delete my datastore, and now I can't retrieve this stuff, no matter what request htl I use.   Otherwise, could this be related to a high percentage of nodes being transient?   Cheers David
