First of all, I like your calculations very much and I wonder why nobody calculated this before FEC was implemented. If I understood this correctly then a 700mib file with block success rate p=0.58 will have a 48% total success chance. This sucks...

It would suck if then people started to artificially bloat 50MiB files up to 80MiB to improve their success rates... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
