I've been giving this a bit more thought and I think that nodes having a large percentage of ther requests satisfied by a small number of nodes isn't nescesarily a bad thing. In fact in a mature freenet it is pretty likely that nodes would mostly talk to a few nodes that are close to themselves keyspace wise. The problem is that these reference overwrite the information about the rest of the network.
What I suggest is that if a new reference falls between two references to the same node there is no need to register it (perhaps we need to promote the closest reference). In other words we only store reference that change the perception of the network for the node. This would cut down the number of references to a given node but not change the behaviour too drasticly What do you all think?
