I should point out, that if your container is large enough to FEC (that's
around a meg), then your container is too fucking big - in ideal conditions,
(i.e. not freenet), a 56k modem (which are very common, despite what some of
the broadband elite think) will take around 5-10 minutes to fetch your data.
And that[s of course on the low end of the FEC scale. Files this large should
not be allowed to be containered.
