Because we are all frustrated that performance has only gotten worse over the last year and are really really really hoping that things will get better. We have nothing else to pin our hopes on but NGR. > So for the time being, will everyone just stop rejecting reasonable ideas > simply because "NGrouting is comming". (Although this idea is clearly much > more contrivertial than most.) What reasonable ideas have been rejected? Most of the ideas proposed recently that I object to would not be needed if freenet worked properly and are only a distraction from getting it working properly. NGR is a big step in the direction of getting it working properly. It has been shown that freenet performance is all about routing. Without effective routing we are just another non-scalable broadcast search network that doesn't find data. If NGR doesn't work I think something serious is going to have to be proposed to enforce routing and strong specialization. -- Tracy Reed http://ultraviolet.org
