But given shared bandwidth needs shouldn't a node adapt. How quickly (if at all) does a node adapt to having less bandwidth than is specified in the limits?

Freenet could maybe support this. A list of IP blocks in CIDR notation. Which in turn is derived from http://ftp.apnic.net/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-20040106 <a href="http://ftp.apnic.net/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-20040106";>a periodically updated list</a> - picking out my country gives my domestic (zero bandwidth cost) IPs. > Are you in Spain by any chance? The last poster on this topic was.. New Zealand. (Bang goes my anonymity). I think people (I use the word loosely) from Australia would have similar issues. And Spain. I watch (with envy) discussions on bandwidth and pricing and (sadly) I think the world is moving more to caps (monthly limits) rather than open. So I think that this is an area that Freenet should address at some time. I'm biased of course. I'm also willing to help since I think you've commented that you lack develoeprs living in a low bandwidth capped environment. I don't know I can help much but the offer is there. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
