This file, despite its questionable legality, raises an interesting
point about frost. It uses exactly 256 chunks. Presumably that is the
maximum number of chunks that frost will divide a file into. That means
that a 750MB file inserted with Frost will be divided into 256 ~ 3MB
chunks (with no redundancy, but we knew that already). Each of these
chunks is rounded up to 4MB. They will _not be stored_ in any datastore
of less than a bit over 800MB! The default node datastore size is 200MB.
Between the fact that of not using FEC, and this, no wonder they have
problems downloading files - presumably manifesting themselves in
unreliability and slowness, leading to more retries, causing more
network load... congratulations to Sandworm and Zlatin, please get the
new Frost out ASAP, we are releasing Freenet 0.5.1 in a week or so.
