Yes! Everyone should run a node. More nodes means more data replication and more cover traffic. In general, more is better. Of course as you increase the number of slow nodes, you decrease the average speed of the network. Which should just encourage people to form subnetworks with their friends who also have high speed connections. If you have a high speed connection and are getting slow downloads, it's probably because you're talking to slow nodes (or one hop away is) because you got them from inform.php. Well you should set up a subnetwork with your friends and that will fix that. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
