RE: [freenet-support] Timed content
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2004 00:11:14 +0200 From: daniele [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [freenet-support] Timed content To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed I was thinking about the incredible amount of space that is used within freenet to hold contents that no one will never try to retrieve, because, for example, they are obsolete. If the person that puts the content on freenet knows that, for example, within 1 week, it will be obsolete, because of newer releases or because no one will know no more about its existence (eg: files shared via frost), or for anything else, it would be great if he could specify a time when every node keeping parts of the file can delete them (removing the file from freenet). Such a function is not necessary since Freenet will push the least popular content out in order to make room for new inserts. That way it will never run out of space. If something becomes obsolete, one must assume that it will become less popular and thus fade from the net all by itself in time. So why make a manual procedure for something that works perfectly automatically?

Quoting daniele [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I was thinking about the incredible amount of space that is used within freenet to hold contents that no one will never try to retrieve, because, for example, they are obsolete.

God no. Please not this again... This idea has been discussed before. I've looked in the archives for relevant email, but it was a long time ago and I can't find it. (using gmane anyway) Part of the problem with your idea, daniele, is that it goes against the design of the Freenet network. It amounts to censorability and there's no perceived need for it anyway. -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
