I have just finished a perfect example of this NOT being the case - can I share it with you?
I'm sitting at work with a transient node (heavy duty firewall with NAT and port blocking by a very thorough sysadmin) and I'm on dial-up at home so despite really wanting to run a perm node I can't at the moment (ok, enough blubbing about my problems) This morning in chat KSK at robots.txt was mentioned so off I went to look for it (I use the cmd line frequest): I started at htl of 10 and failed to find it so I increased htl by 10 until I reached 70 where I got hold of the redirect to the CHK, also here I got the first node 'failure to reply' retrieving the redirect. Trying to retrieve the CHK encountered eight node reply failures and was eventually unsuccessful. Most days I try and retrieve something and the network varies between getting reply failures at htl 20 upto htl 100, a lot of the times I do eventually get the file. More recently it has been more stable and htls to 50-60 get me the file first shot, but that has been more the exception than the rule. I've been waiting till I could document a clear example, hopefully this is it? _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
