It's not 'predictably crap' because he wrote it. It's 'predictably crap' because a) He claims it is predictable. I won't dispute this. b) If a node accepts a lot of queries and then rejects one, it will (apparently) backoff for a time proportional to the number of queries accepted. So good nodes get punished. This seems completely unreasonable. > > Ian. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
