How does freenet cope with the following situation?
 
1.  I insert a file into freenet.  Doesn't really matter what.  I use a KSK so there's a CHK too.  I use an HTL of 1
2.  The insert request propagates to one other node and there is no collision
3.  The data is inserted and stored at my node, and at the other node
4.  The other node is quite popular, but unfortunately my file is not, and after a short while the other node only has a reference to my file, and no other nodes (except mine and his) reference the file I inserted at all.  The reference at the other node points to mine as storing the data
5.  I accidentally trash my data store or my hard drive blows up or something.  rm *  .  whatever.
6.  I try and request the file, and it can't be found.  Fair enough, but I try and reinsert the file and it cannot be reinserted because my next-nearest neighbour still has that reference, pointing to me, of the file that, up until recently, I was holding.
 
?
 
 
Out of interest, like.
