If Freenet can't handle a few machines going down for a few minutes a day, then it's screwed anyway. You should be able to shut off any random node for a few hours at a time with little to no ill effects on the overall network. Any nodes that attempt to get data from a down node will flush that node from it's data store, though, but it can reroute the request to the next most likely node. _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
