Hi fellow freenetters
I am quite tired of freenet as it is now -
painstakingly slow, and most material flushed out of freenet in two weeks time.
Where i live we have a large, fast local network connecting about 1000 homes.
I've been playing with the idea of having a sort of closed freenet community.
I've had a difficult time understanding exactly how freenet transfers work, so
i'd like to have some feedback from you experts.
First of all: Is it correct that transfer time and
connection time will be faster in proportion to the speed of the
network? If ping times on the network are <20 ms and bandwidth 100
Mbit/s, can transfers including connect time be reduced to seconds rather than
minutes?
And then: How can we set up our servers, so they'll
publish keys only locally, and only accept keys from local
machines?
Also: I know there has been problems on freenet
with publishing very large files - will that also be the case on a small, very
fast network?
I believe that having a closed freenet community
will encourage people to donate space and publish data much more than an
open one. Our communication network will also make it easier to facilitate
a balance between how much is uploaded and how much space is available.
I see a great potential in such a freenet network, if the speed (and
reliability) can be brought up to at least 10 times what I've experienced
on the global freenet.
