BTW, I figured out how to eliminate this problem. The solution is to have a pre-fetching caching web proxy between your browser and FProxy. That way whenever you go to a site all of the links will be already cached in your node. This will also help with site propagation because sites will propagate altogether rather than having the index page receive a lot more hits, resulting in often broken links. Of course there are some necessary tweaks. For instance you probably don't want to prefetch links to movies. I've found, unfortunately, that there are no working pre-fetch web proxies currenly in existing (some old ones from 96 that don't work, though). So someone should really add a parameter to FProxy to turn on internal pre-fetching. Alas, I don't have time to write this right now. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl >From - Mon Apr 30 02:04:52 2001 Return-Path: <devl-admin at freenetproject.org>
