I believe the one you want is the second link (first under Histograms), called "Histogram of the keys in the node's routing table". This is what a node should specialize in. I believe. On my node, which has been running for quite a while, and is running the crusty and abandoned stable line (5028), there's no specialization. There's no specialization in either the datastore keys or routing keys. So, the case of the disappearing specialization is affecting "stable" nodes as well, either because whatever it is is in the code for them as well, or because the unstable code is causing this network effect. > Does this matter?

Well, something to consider is: Are we sure nodes really need to specialize, as things are? Maybe there's a lot more disk space out there than there is stuff to fill it? In that case, there'd be little need to dump old stuff, and specialization wouldn't be as apparent. Or maybe I'm wrong. -todd _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
