Redundant splitfiles are your friend. Instead of inserting, say, 65 chunks 10 MB each the software inserts 98 10-MB-chunks with the property that posession of *any* set of 65 chunks out of these can be used to reconstruct the original file. Resuming downloads works more or less automatically this way. Every chunk successfully downloaded by one's node will stay in the store -- if 60 chunks were done before your connection goes down, there are only 5 more to go. The exception is when the chunks got pushed out of the store either by other chunks (if the store is not big enough to hold them all) or by other data (if the user discovers that freenet is not just useful to download your software). -- Robbe -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
