No, the seednodes.ref file does *not* get updated during the course of the node's operation. There's nothing rare or unique in the original person's seednodes.ref file unless he customized it himself, which I sincerely doubt is the case. More likely, it's just the vanilla seednodes.ref file that you get when you run the Windows installer. The rare and unique node references that each node has (i.e., the routing table) is actually stored in the datastore. It is *not* stored in the seednodes.ref file. Since the original person's node was *not* able to contact any other nodes at all, replacing the seednodes.ref file -- which adds *additional* node refs to the routing table, and does not remove any node refs from the routing table -- is a quite reasonable course of action. > what i am thinking of is a simple-to-use "import another seednodes.ref to > your node". That's exactly what my suggestion achieves, minus the "simple-to-use" bit. The only way I can immediately think of to make it easier would be to check the timestamp on the seednodes.ref file every once in a while, to see if it's been replaced -- and if so, to read it and import the new refs into the routing table. This would burn some CPU time in stat()-polling the file. (Err, whatever Java has in place of stat().) I can't see it happening frequently enough to make this trade-off beneficial. The rest of your message was built on a misconception, so I've snipped it. :-) -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
