What this boils down to is that if you request a key, through ANY client interface, that has not been _completely_ downloaded by the node, it will send out a new request for that key. No amount of hacking on fproxy will change this. However, the 0.4 node will be able to recognize that it is already downloading that key and will not generate the unnecessary second request. -- # tavin cole # # "Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that # man doesn't have to experience it." # # - Max Frisch _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
