This would not work for the same reasons that every other scheme that keeps non-requested data in your store doen't work. The network doesn't adapt to knowing that your node is the source of the data, and then has everyone look there for the data. On insert, the network puts the data where it's going to look for it, and then looks for it there. > My own personal bias would be to see > Freenet replace BitTorrent in this capacity. > I'd love to use freenet for BitTorrenty things too, but at the moment it's not going to happen. The big thing that BitTorrent has is a way of excluding leechers, which is a property I doubt freenet can/will ever have.
