On the flipside, I have a 24/7 statically addressed node, but occasionally (windows being what it is), I need to restart my node/system. While I'm trying to get my node back online, it makes more sense to me that other nodes don't immediately give up on me but instead keep trying for a while. Other nodes shouldn't have to relearn the path to the data I'm holding. I'm not sure how much of a difference my datastore makes to the overall freenet network (Used space in the data store 466,416 KB; localRequestsPerHour: 1734.6581), but half a gig of data and another half a gig of waiting storage has to contain at least something semi-useful that nodes should keep trying for a few minutes to get before purging my IP from the routing tables.
