it would make more sense to me to have it attempt to download the blocks first rather than fec decoding them and reinserting them. thoughts?When you insert a file into Freenet, the insertion HTL specifies
the number of nodes through which a *search* is conducted to find
that data. If it finds that data, you get a key collision, and
you're happy. :)
maybe i wasn't clear, I'm talking about downloading a big FEC file out of freenet, not inserting. right now it seems like it only downloads the minumum required FEC blocks and then rebuilds the rest. then in order to "heal the network" it reinserts some of the blocks that it never tried to fetch in the first place. it seems to me, for the health of the network it makes more sense for my node to try to find as many as possible in the network, thereby propegating the block through the net and then only reinsert a few of the blocks that are actually DNF's.
