The healing blocks are re-inserted after each segment is decoded. In that sense it doesn't run in the background. The data is written before the healing re-insertions, so for single segment splitfiles the user shouldn't notice much impact. single segment == <16Mb
For multisegment downloads it does slow things down slightly. > > Also, I think the HTL should be raised to 15 or so... My thinking is to leave the default as low as is actually useful, and allow people who want to "sponser" content more actively re-insert at higher htl's. The aggregate effect of people re-inserting even at low htl's should be pretty substantial. Has anyone looked into how healing works in OceanStore? Maybe we could lean on their empirical data to chose re-insertion percentages/htls in a more principled way. 5 was just a guess. --gj > > > > Ian. > > > > -- > > * David 'Bombe' Roden ---------------------------------------- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; charset="us-ascii"; name="Attachment: 1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: ---------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
