Well, as has been said many times, the difference is that files with the same data part will have their data part collide on insertion, meaning that many people can try to insert the same file, but fill out the metadata differently, and yet there will still only be one copy of the file in the network. There will then be different keys pointing to the same file with different metadata. This is cool since if someone inserts a file and you find the metadata to be erroneous, you can insert corrected metadata and distribute the new key without having to insert an entire new copy of the file. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
