The point is not that testing the fec thingy is bad, bad inserting actually in Freenet might be a very bad thing at this stage. Lets say we have 10 nodes a 500MG at the moment in the net. Inserting one divx with a HTL=10 could destroy all existing data on all nodes then. The longer I think about it the more I think that large binary data (opposed to html sites) will be the death of freenet. Other file sharing systems might be better suited for these mega-gigabyte shares... Sebastian P.S. This is just a confused thought of a drunk individual rather than the official Freenet opinion..................... _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
