I'd suggest uploading it twice, or more :\.

Yea, data persistence isn't that great at the moment. But you "hosting" all the data just isn't how Freenet works. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) Each node is intended to specialize around a tight keyspace -- I believe this is intrinsic to the routing algorithms. I'm not sure how your "location" (every node has one, which is directly related to the keys you're supposed to specialize in) would be handled if you hacked the code to promiscuously handle any key. My guess is it would make the topology of the network less efficient. > so, ahh, what does the persistence column exactly mean in freenet?

That would defeat the purpose of Freenet :b. Entirely. Imagine if many people started doing this -- the data wouldn't spread properly, and would fall off the network fast.

[freenet-support] persistence question
hi all. when i upload a file, is that file on my local data store? what does the persistence column stand for in http://127.0.0.1:/uploads/ ? i would like to upload a very large amount of files and i would like to *always* have it in my data store. is this possible with the current version of freenet or should i write some code to do this independently? i understand this may not be the wisest move from a security perspective but i'm in a relatively free country. thanks for any tips! - eric c. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
