well, YOU can force YOUR node, but freenet-nodes can't be forced in general. just remove the part of code.

What do we do then? send a request to that node, get the reply, and, with a high probability (70% of the requests that big node doesn't handle (given the nodeoperator doesn't change the probability for resetting dataSource)), you get the address of an other node. > Redefine the node as not-a-node? That's your answer? Thought you artifically limit the peers to one node, as in your example above. well, i've never heard about a node loosing all but one reference, but thaen, again, not limiting the references/node doesn't help, then the protocol is fucked. -- moritz .------------------------------+------------------------+----------------------. | mailto:moritz at 1723.net | http://1723.net/ | ICQ: 110110488 | |------------------------------+------------------------+----------------------| | this mail is irevocably placed in the public domain and may be read, | | redistributed and erased freely, now and forever, amen. | ?------------------------------------------------------------------------------? _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
