They would not be able to make queries. Their network topology forces them to be freeloaders, and we should treat them as such. Or so the argument goes. We MAY be able to do some sort of firewall circumvention system using shadow nodes as discussed elsewhere - but it is relatively low priority at the moment unless it becomes easy (which it won't until muxing is in, at least). > > -- jj -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
