Now you're talking about real work. It would be kind of sweet if data that cann't be downloaded from a node, be inserted from that same node. As far as I know though there's no "one click" thing built into freed to insert data? You could make a stand alone webserver to do this, but my guess is that nobody would bother to do this unless it's automated. Now if your distribution has a nice automated way of downloading the right RPMs you can change that code to do exactly what you want. 1) try freenet 2) try mirrors and then insert into freenet. Some may point out that if the routing works well, there will be no need to this client side reinsertion. That a few nodes inserting the data will ensure that all of a 5GB linux distribution will be reachable. > For instance, if Red Hat were to do this when a > new set of CDROM's is released, then for the next > few weeks, the CDROM's would be easy to fetch from > Freenet because lots of independent nodes would have > inserted them.

For every hop theres an upload and a download taking place somewhere. Still what good is the network if it's not being used. Some guy was working on a way to distribute debian packages over freenet. Whatever happened to that? __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
