How exactly would this setup work? The problem I see is that the files
will not be uploaded independently. They would have to be "requested" as
such, and the immediately propagated to the requesting node. How will the
FreeNet design cope with that?

Is there anyone else having difficulties with this? And does the node
automatically convert from 128 to 256 bit key at startup when the config
file is changed? Or does the data store have to be zapped first?
