Just to note, there are more ways that the routing can be broken then this. If we have 1000 users, and they all end up sending all there files to Charles because he has a damn fast node on an excellently placed super-fat pipe, Freenet is still broken even though everybody is able to find eachothers inserts (wait until Charles pulls off the Mission Impossible mask and unveils himself as Mallory). > -- > \oskar > > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev > -- \oskar _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
