Recently I inserted a file at HTL 20 into one of my nodes, and had it DNF on the other at HTL 25. For two different files. This worked in the past, with lower HTLs. Now, the interesting part is that I have three nodes, and it appears that hammering all the nodes other than the one I inserted the files into for all the files improves fetchability over time... maybe fishtools etc should include an option to fetch from extra nodes? The modified loop: Insert files. For each file: if fetchable on all nodes, continue to next file for each extra node, (in parallel?): try to fetch at current HTL if RNF, retry with same options if DNF, and HTL < max HTL, increase HTL and retry done repeat done
Eventually the files should become available... and the network will forge new links to make this happen.
