Ok, so your argument is that Freenet has no cast-iron defense against someone spoofing multiple IP addresses to get-around our load-balancing mechanism. Big fscking deal! What is our cast iron defense against someone setting a very small datastore and leaching from the network? Has our lack of one hurt us? Should we have waited until we have one before we let anyone use Freenet?


Please explain what the oh-so-terrible thing that a *normal user* could realistically do even if they controlled thousands of IP addresses, and please remind us of why this thing is so terrible that it justifies making our users continue to suffer from the lack of an effective load balancing mechanism?

Ian.
