Warning to those doing big downloads/uploads with Freenet-level disk
encryption (physical security of LOW or higher):

There are some serious-ish issues, we are working on them. You might
want to delay updating. I will put out a snapshot later today:

1. FEC decoding/encoding is not prioritised. So a big download finishing
/ upload starting can block fproxy.
2. Last summer I identified a problem with disk encryption: In
Bouncycastle 1.50, there is seekable encryption (needed for disk
encryption with purge-db4o) but actually seeking can be very slow.
