Doing a direct connection won't help its popularity. So very unpopular content that is still somewhere on the network will stay that way, even when if later on it gets a sudden surge in popularity. To solve the problem, you need to have the data spread to other nodes whenever a request for that data occurs. Freenet's meathod is to "pull" that data through the request chain. It could also be accomplished by doing a direct connection, but then having one of the nodes "push" that data via a standard insert. _______________________________________________ freenet-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/tech
