> I have one more question on the reliability of freenet that I can assume. It may not be possible with current spread of freenet, but if the user base of freenet increases can one assume that certain file will be available from freenet at anytime? are any replication strategies being developed to make this possible? If not, are there any other implemented P2P file systems that anybody knows of, consider the availability issue.
In most p2p apps the users *share* stuff, in freenet the users *insert* stuff. The very nature of freenet is therefore replication. When a file is inserted it will be replicated to somewhere between 1 and insertHTL nodes. Whenever a file is succesfully requested it will be replicated to somewhere between 1 and requestHTL nodes. The data usually is out there, the problem is finding it, hence all the talk about routing algorithms. /N _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
