Yes and (mostly) no. Having many nodes/servers/clusters and pushing and pulling the data you want will have a small effect on the network, but generally speaking the more popular the requested data is, the more places it resides. Thus if you have 10 nodes/servers/clusters pushing and pulling the content you want, but 100's of other people are requesting different content, the more requested content would win. Also please note that content would be divided across the network based on hash of said content and routing done by the network. So to replace someone else's content on a node you would also need to find content with a very close hash to that of the other person's content (not entirely easy) AND make sure to request it more than the other content AND control a majority of the routes for that data hash. Even then after expending great effort and resources you probably wont entirely succeed... > > -- > ----- > it.scienza.chimica, 25/8/05: > > che differenza c'è tra molarità, molalità e moralità? > con le prime due puoi descrivere un politico. > [dp] > http://blog.daniele.homelinux.org > > _______________________________________________ > chat mailing list > chat@freenetproject.org > Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general > Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat > Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. - Voltaire _______________________________________________ chat mailing list chat@freenetproject.org Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
