One of the problems with the way freenet is designed is that it is difficult if not impossible to tell what the effects of changes to your node are because your node is only 1 hop in a potentially 25 hop long chain of nodes which get you your data. You may see no quantifiable change in performance changing only your node but if everyone changed it could be very different. And even if everyone changes it is going to take significant time for data to rearrange itself on the nerwork. -- Tracy Reed http://copilotconsulting.com
