If you are aware that personal attacks make you look dumb, then why the hell go straight into one? Edgar has been around here a lot longer than you have, and while everybody is wrong some of time, he has a lot more credibility too. If you can't deal with having your ideas shot down then STFU already. <> > Assuming that my internet connection is failing when I > get RNF is retarded.

As it is, it does happen. We need to find out what the cause is - maybe too many nodes are overloaded, maybe something is going wrong inside your node, maybe we are just lousy coders, maybe it is something else. Can you explain which problem that causes RNFs flooding the network with requests is going to solve? You say that with the repeating request code, if you go to bed at night and leave it running, it will find the data. Well, the network is not very large at the moment, by most guesses smaller than a thousand permanent nodes. It doesn't take a genius to see that your long night of hammering away at the network probably managed to get your query to hit every single permanent node. Querying every single node will make you find the data! Why on earth didn't we think of that!! If you have a network of 1000 nodes and routing is not working, then you can solve that by flooding. If you have a network of 100,000 nodes and routing is not working, then good luck trying to flood them all. If this network is to have any future, we need the routing to work. Short sighted patches to work around the symptoms of it failing by abandoning our goals are not the right way forward.
