You want to add js so that we can have a cutesy interface?!? Tell me how js is going to improve the functionality. Tell me how it's going to fix the "backed off" problem. Tell me how it will keep 1/4 of my files from having to be re-downloaded because of an internal error. Tell me how it's going to help me get more than a 100kB/s throughput. You want to improve the INTERFACE? No. Ray _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
