We need to get probabilistic caching in the code ASAP - the current 
level of load most nodes are getting is totally disrupting the 
clustering effect from what I have seen in my node's diagnostics.  
Freenet simply won't work properly without this clustering.

I propose that we have a fall-off parameter which adjusts how the cache 
probabilty "falls off" as the reply gets further from its source.  This 
can be configurable.  We can put this functionality in unstable, and 
encourage people to experiment with different parameters.  We should see 
increased clustering on those nodes irrespective of whether the rest of 
the network contains that code.

I propose making this the highest priority at this time.

Ian.
