sure, you are right, but at this global overload, the nodes certainly don't forward the requests they do not satisfy by their data store. i saw only zero to five requests before "route not found". there was not one single "data not found", which signals the exhausted HTL. some freesites opened after several tries but i never saw more than 5 of 10 "nearest" nodes tried, yesterday, with build 468. mfg The Bishop _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
