This isn't a real problem. Six parts will be generated, and the node will only store one. Other nodes that drop this file will do the same thing, but store a different part. There is no "accepting" of any data. A malicious node can drop the file outright, but we can still route to that part generated on another node. I do want to point out that this solution probably isn't all that effective if we have split files anyway, as myself and Oskar have both pointed out. Nevertheless its pretty clever. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
