OK, you did not read my links. The idea is this. Instead of inserting the data into the network, you insert metadata: a manifest, and a list of the noderefrences of the proxies of nodes that have previously requested the data that is kept up to date by the node who's store the manifest is located on. Then when you get the list and the manifest, you can easily contact the nodes that are known to have the data. (Including the publisher who is not distinguished in any particular way) For the gory step by step, please read the second link. Then all someone has to do to make sure their data is available is to request it's manifest, and then they will, once again be added to the list, and th mainfest will be widely available. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
