Well the file splitting SHOULD be mandatory, and completely transparent.
A part of the 0.4 node client.
Like when you send someone a 5 meg .mpeg in an email useing Outlook
Express 5, and they recieve it useing Outlook Express 5, as far as they
are concerned they recieved ONE email, but in actuality they may recieve
50 individual emails which are then recombined transparently by the email
client. Why not make it so that the Freenet network WILL NOT transport
files larger than say 500k, at least the 0.4 nodes, and that anything
larger being recieved by a 0.4 node is automaticaly converted to a
split-file Metadata package that can be reached with the same CHK as
before, but transparently requests multiple segments instead of one huge
file?
I think this would improve the network immensley.
Oh yeah, and please put in file transfer resume if a transfer operation
is stopped before the entire file has been retrieved and reassembled, or
sent on to other nodes in an insert operation. This would make it much
easier for users who DON'T have T3 connections to the net to use Freenet
as if it were a fast FTP site or HTTP site or something.
You could download Flashget or Go! Zilla or any number of other download
resume clients if you don't understand what I'm talking about.
