No, no, no. If you're requesting that garbage from only one location, the closest node (yours or the one you're talking to) would just cache the data and spit it back at you as many times as you like. The rest of the network wouldn't feel a thing. Worst case scenario, you take out the first node in the chain. Then what? Sick your client on another node? How do you find more nodes once you've been blocked from the first bunch you overloaded? How much bandwidth do you have? How do you avoid being tracked down? -- Mark Roberts mroberts100 at mediaone.net _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
