The Gnutella experience is useful here. There are node lists around the net, but they are pretty unreliable. In practice what happens is that users go onto IRC or some similar forum and look for a node. Once they find one, the protocol uses it to identify lots of other nodes (in the case of Gnutella, all of them). _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
