I have noticed a couple of other potential problems with cvs
currently.  I believe this one has been discussed here recently but
still exists after the past few days of bug fixes.  If the server gets
swamp with insert requests.  It will affectly quit accepting inserts.
That is they all start failing.  I am not sure how many you need to
send the server at once to cause the condition, but gj InsertMp3s will
do it nicely with a -simRequest of 5 and -retries of 3 on about a
dozen files.  I duplicated this behaviour twice in a row.  The only
way out of the situation is to kill off the server and restart it.

Another thing I've noticed and it may have to do with the network
being munged with the 0.3.7 servers is that requests, through fproxy
anyway are extremely unreliable.  I usually insert and request with
htl of 30 which I would suspect should give a fairly wide distribution
yet I cannot receive files that are larger than a few 'k' usually,
inserted on one server and requested on another.  It is possible that
htl 30 doesn't bring these two servers into close aproximation.
However, they are about ten hops from each other on the actual
network, That seems rather odd though.  I just figured I should
mention it to see if anyone else has noticed this behaviour.
