This is incorrect. The node has numerous major network level problems at the moment - inserting a file on one node at HTL 25 and then getting a DataNotFound at HTL 25 on another node, is not a good sign. Mostly this is due to growing pains and old versions of the node though, hopefully.
Eventually, we may make fred use nonblocking I/O; this will drastically reduce the number of threads needed, but it will be a lot of work and it is not a major priority because there are easier things with a bigger impact to do first. -- Matthew Toseland [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet/Coldstore open source hacker.
