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.
