Is this true even if I am refreshing the local requests for the file on the node machine, the "server"? > ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - Volodya > I've joined a mailing list of meshnet wireless providers in Indonesia. It is helping to remind me again of the core concerns. I am looking to provide a solution that I can tell other people about because it is legal and makes sense for bandwidth and local filesharing. It is something that people can copy and do themselves easily. I will do my best to make these files I am hosting available, and my intent is to make them easy to find so that others can find them. However, whateevr solution I provide, others may choose to misuse it. If they add my key, though, then, what, I will be serving as a repository for their files? Or only if I click on the files or add their key? I don't have a problem with my machines making local copies of the files i load from my server; the issue comes when machines I am trying to keep legal are keeping copes of other people's illegal files. Plausible deniability comes in here, at this point. At this point, because I cannot prevent others from loading other people's keys, then I will need to plan to wipe the machine they are using. If that is the case, then I want the default install to have a link to this reliable provider node I am sponsoring so they can again access the files. My goal is to provide access to this "server" through a secured network internally, and then through an unsecured network externally. External access will be by people who join that unsecured network and run some program to discover the "server" and download the files.
