Just another stupid question from the perspective of a user- Is there a reason why the number of redundant FEC blocks isn't be user-configurable?
"How redundant do you want your data to be? The more-redundant you specify, the slower it will be to insert, but the more resilient the data will be to network damage" Faster Inserts -------------------[]------More Reliable Data Users who want their data better propagated are likely to submit it to multiple nodes anyway, increasing the total number of blocks.. But this may end up having 3 copies of block A, and none of block B C D, so it can't heal the file. It just seems like any freenet-ettique behavior needs to be enforced by the other clients observing behavior, rather than the original client being trusted to do the right thing, or only insert in a certain way.
