Absolutely, because it could be used for a low bandwidth DoS. However, there are 2 scenarios with slow transfers, which are different: 1. A node connects to us and starts an insert. This is a very slow insert. However it doesn't use much resources (it currently uses a thread, but it doesn't need to). And it's not necessarily that node's immediate fault - it may be receiving it slowly, or it may have routed through a slow node. 2. We route a request, and get a response, which is slow. The result of this will be that we report the slow transfer on the node's estimator, and it will be routed around if it is significant. > > ken -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
