Quoting Karlan Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel:
:Is there something I am missing about hashing mathematics, (because I
:don't understand the prepending of 0x01 and 0x00 to the hashes....)

What are you talking about here?  Which prepending?

:or would my assumption be correct if I said: interoperability through
:programs which use different block sizes is impossible without
:recalculating the tree
:from the start again.....?

The above assumption is correct.  That is why Gnutella has defined that
the size of the leaf blocks is to be 1 KB.

:Also, depth 0 would be root hash, or the block hash......?

The root hash.  Depth is measured from the root, always.

:There are still somethings about the THEX document I didn't understand,
:so any clarification would be appreciated

Sure, feel free to ask, and we'll see if someone can answer you.
