Freenet has *more* problems than just large file sizes...
does that say it better...? :-)
I'm thinking that most perm freenet nodes have less
bandwidth than me. I have a cable modem and a damn fast one
at that. When I had 144k DSL, or even 56K modem, if someone
went to download 5 meg from me, I felt it... so I got into
the habit of shutting my node, or Napster, or ftp server
down. This means that any pending transfer's were shut off.
A 5 meg transfer on a 56k modem takes a while. Especially
if I have other things going on like downloading or game
playing. Small bursts of data are quicker and don't tie my
bandwidth up for long periods of time.
Also, the client can have multiple streams downloading from
different nodes. Spreading bandwidth even further. File
transfer speeds increase for faster connections.
Am I crazy...?

Freenet's problems seem size-independent
