None follow Ian's call for opinion about the fproxy insertion capability removal.
My opinion about it is that was a bad(TM) idea. I cannot imagine a good technical reason for that. From a normal user point of view, this fact transform a read/write media in a readonly media; something that the RIAA and other organization from the Dark Side can just dream of. It is unreasonable that a normal user install and understand other programs just to have the basic feature of writing a file on Freenet; maybe the only good change would be to put a size limit on that. An artist friend of mine, that was partecipating to "Ars Electronica" exibition in Lintz, showing an installation that use a Freenet gateway, had major problems because she lost the ability to insert without warning; I downgrade a node for her, but this was just a stop-gap solution. So I strongly suggest to reenable some kind of Fproxy in fred, at least as option. FWIW. Ciao. Marco -- * Marco A.
