It is obviously impossible.
Nodes could "compare notes" to identify other "rogue" nodes that do things like make multiple requests for the same data with different UnqiueIDs, and then at least temporarily isolate them from the rest of the network. This may see a far fetched, but I suspect that something like this may ultimately be necessary for Freenet to protect itself against rogue nodes. Contact me by email and I'll tell you where to send the money. :-) _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
