The advantage of DBR sites is that they allow the freesite author to update the site without changing the key of the site. The downside is that even if the author doesn't change anything, he/she has to re-insert the site daily and other Freenet users need to at least retrieve the daily manifest (the file which lists all the files in a freesite) in order to view the site. Usually it's not necessary to re-insert and re-fetch all the files in a freesite, just the changed files and the manifest file. Another type of a freesite is an edition freesite, which doesn't need to be re-inserted and re-fetched every day, but the author needs to change the site key every time he/she updates the site. For example: SSK@qe3ZRJg1Nv1XErADrz7ZYjhDidUPAgM/nubile/10// Is a key to an edition site. It's common practice to number different editions like this and to include links in the main page to next and previous editions. The links usually include an image from the next/previous edition, so users who see the images know that the next/previous editions are retrievable. -- Mika Hirvonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://nightwatch.mine.nu/ ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: [freenet-support] Accessing data in local node
This is because although the The Freedom Engine did not change today it is actually a different page u are trying to view. TFE is what's called a DBR site. Because no one can delete or change content in Freenet it makes it impossible to update a site like TFE. To get round this a DBR site redirects you to another page based on the current time. Today's page is at a different address to yesterdays. Most DBR sites update once a day. At the moment if it cant fetch today's site it will not try any pervious ones even if they were in your data store. It did not change today which means the author has inserted and identical site for both days. Hope this helps.

[freenet-support] Accessing data in local node
Yesterday I was able to use FProxy to view The Freedom Engine's main page, so that page ought now to be in my node's datastore. But today when I try to return to the same page, FProxy says the request can't even make it off my node. Why does it have to? Why can't it just retrieve the page from my datastore? OK, so I'm a complete newbie to Freenet, but I'm just trying to understand how it works. cheers Chris ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
[freenet-support] Newbie question: what's "PAgM" for?
Hello Freenetters I've stumbled across various references to the need to add "PAgM" to end of public keys, and one that said it was no longer required, but I can't seem to find mention of it in the documentation for Fred or fcptools. Do I need to add it to the public key when running fcpputsite for example? So far I've been entirely unsuccessful in trying to insert a freesite, and I'm wondering if PAgM is the reason. regards Chris ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
