I've had my node running 24x7 for over a month. I'm well connected,
and have a fast connection. In that time, the database has grown from
50Mb to 280Mb. I've allocated a full 100 Gb for the store. The growth
has been quite linear. Will it take 3 more months to reach just 1 Gb?
It seems like it should be storing more..
Is there a setting to make a node more ... absorbant?

It has recently been discovered that there is some sort of problem
with how Freenet nodes migrate (swap) to what part of the keyspace
they will inhabit. Unfortunately, most established nodes are hovering
around 0.001/ 0.999(in a circular keyspace where 0 is the same as 1
effectively). Since your node stores inserts very close to your nodes
specialization (the part of the keyspace your node resides), this
means most nodes are competing to store the same tiny fraction of
keys. This also explains why the "cache" has a better hit ratio than
the store because the cache stores all specializations of keys passing
by. To prove my point here is some data from my node.
My location:
0.009040329277193226
Peer locations:
0.918831371088009 (Newish node so hasn't completely migrated)

There is also a thread started asking for people to post the same kind
of information. I will post the results of Frost poll as the data
comes in. Unless you don't want me to...
