I don't see how you could ever counter an attack of this type, in the sense that "parts" can always be "grouped" in a way that is unknown to the node. You could, for instance, have a link page with all of the parts listed on it. The only solution I can think of is to have clients only automatically assemble "properly" split and labelled files so that users would be encouraged by the system to not download files split in weird ways. This seems like a cheap hack, but I can't think of any better way to do it. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
