Right now, a person downloading a freesite must make a seperate request for every image on the site. This could be improved by putting an entire freesite (or a chunk of one if it's really big) in a .tar.gz, with files being extracted from the tarball as needed, instead of going out and requesting something new each time. OTOH, this will obviously lead to fewer requests and thus harm freenet's routing as a whole. Yes, I know this is a client issue. Timm Murray -----------
