(Damn, dude! Hit Enter once in a while!)
It seems quite likely that in the near future, Freenet is going to be
(more commonly) used as a transport mechanism for Very Large Files
(~650 MB). If the local node's data store is less than the size of the
file you're trying to retrieve, I doubt that the results are going to
be pleasant.
I can't see any reason why you'd want a data store less than 1 GB,
unless your hard drive is simply so small that you can't have a node
that big. (In which case you won't be downloading ISO images, so you
won't face these issues in the first place.)
