We don't allow large HTLs because they're an easy DoS attack, and besides, if the routing works your large-HTL request would only encounter a relatively tiny set of nodes, and if routing doesn't work it should be fixed not kludged around. In any case you will not receive requests for that data except in extreme circumstances such as tiny new networks which aren't worth considering. Also note that monolithic files are a thing of the past. They're going to be replaced by "splitfiles" which break a file into little blocks and use forward erasure correction to compensate for any missing blocks when reconstructing it. Despite the overhead of multiple requests and redundant blocks, it's the only sane way to deal with files of nontrivial size, and multiplexing requests is a big throughput and reliability win. What this means is that a "transparent store" would not only be useless, it would be complicated. _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
