Hmm. What we download on startup: * The links on the front page. These could conceivably be up to 1MB each, but they aren't. They are however a number of smaller files. DFI is 64kB now, and TFE is probably more than that. * The various distribution servlet files. These are used for the "Spread Freenet" option. But they are only downloaded once unless something is really wrong - they should be cached in the "distrib" directory. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
