What we do need on the server, is the non-ability to cache multiple parts of a multi-part file. Otherwise scanning a node for parts of a file with htl=1 would be a dead givaway that a local user requested the file. I suggest we have an option in the DataRequest to the effect "Don't cache this", so the local node does not cache the split files, but the rest of the nodes in the chain do. This will have a negligible effect on Freenet's ability to cache as a while. An alternative is for a node to be able to recognise if multiparts of a file are cached locally, and wipe some or all of them. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
