Most splitfiles inserted with FIW are likely to be illegal.

Hey, we almost completely ignore Frost, mostly because they completely ignore us (thankfully this is changing... there is a beta with FEC support), despite the fact that Frost comprizes a LOT of freenet traffic, probably more than the whole freenet web put together (the spikes at 2k, 16k, 256k in your datastore are Frost, mostly). > > you could also write: > "this splitfile uses a deprecated format, and so it is impossible both > to verify its integrity and to heal it." > > however, I *will* change it, i promise.
