If I understand what you're saying, no it can't. Freenet is designed so that you can't know what is going on in other parts of the network. A single node might notice that a certian other node tends to pop up a lot in it's table, and then go out and find a new node with similar data, but I don't think you could do this network- wide and still maintain anonyimity. _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
