I think this sounds like a very nice feature. My only concern is that this type of feedback with nodes adjusting themselves based on the settings of other nodes might be a chaotic system rather than a stabalizing mechanism. We have to make sure the algorithm has checks to ensure that things don't get out of hand with nodes raising their timeouts to compensate for a slow network, therefore they themselves responding slower, causing other nodes to raise their timeouts, etc.. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
