Well, it'd be possible with software support for raw inserts. Spidering
one network, downloading the raw data for each key, and then doing a raw
insert on the other network, would be quite feasible.

It would even be possible to spider the network, or scan one's store,
and then reinsert data onto a different network, without necessarily
knowing the decrypted contents or the SSK keys. However unstablenet is a
lot smaller than stablenet, so it wouldn't be very practical.

More likely is simply that we get new nodes migrating from stable to
unstable constantly, bringing their datastore with them.

Frost) but are you using two totally separate nodes

Yes


If you're just switching one node
between the networks then, after switching, the
datastore will still have the messages cached after
they were retrieved on the other network.
On the same topic, would it be a good idea (or indeed
feasible) to run two nodes, one on each network, with
the same datastore encryption key, which are
periodically stopped and synchronised in order to
narrow the schism between the networks and aid the
flow of content?

Perhaps people doing this is one possible explanation of my observation.

I haven't noticed this (I've never had much luck with
Frost) but are you using two totally separate nodes
for browsing? If you're just switching one node
between the networks then, after switching, the
datastore will still have the messages cached after
they were retrieved on the other network.

On the same topic, would it be a good idea (or indeed

the same datastore encryption key, which are
periodically stopped and synchronised in order to
narrow the schism between the networks and aid the
flow of content?

[freenet-support] Connection between stable and unstable network

2004-01-06 Thread Roger Hayter
Has anyone noticed that Frost messages in some popular boards seem 
almost all to be retrievable both from the "stable" and the "unstable" 
network?  I have made no systematic check on files or boards in general, 
but doesn't this suggest that some nodes must be connecting to both 
networks?  This presumably has a significant effect on routing, as these 
nodes will be the best route to the other network, regardless of 
keyspace.
