Well they need to be able to change it, it needs to be symbolic rather than numeric, and then the user has the freedom to make the requests which are more important to them a higher priority. And the top two levels - emergency and fproxy - should probably generate a warning to the effect that they will slow down browsing the freenet. Priorities are listed in RequestStarte; will need to come up with non-developer-parsable parsable names for them. :) 0 = Maximum / Emergency? 1 = Fproxy (high) (Interactive?) 2 = Fproxy (low) (Interactive Download?) 3 = Updates (checking for freesite updates, downloading node updates etc) (High Download?) 4 = Normal priority for offline fetches (Normal Download?) 5 = Prefetch (Low Download?) 6 = Minimum (Very Low?) > > Ian. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
