Which is exactly what Freenet does. Inserts follow a similar path that requests do, so a node which is "close" to an inserted document will also be "close" for a request for that same docuement. You must remember that Freenet is essentialy several ideas which are highly integerated; remove one, and the entire system falls apart, but together they do wonders. This also means it's really hard to know what is going on, and it usualy takes a new person about six months to figure it out. ----------------------------------------------- Runbox Mail Manager - www.runbox.com Online email application _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
