It wouldn't be a bad idea for people to re-insert non-FEC splitfiles (that they like) as FEC splitfiles. Done properly, the entirety of the non-FEC part would collide, and one would only end up inserting the extra blocks (which would be small). The trick would be to propogate the new cdoc. -- E-mail: thelema314 at swbell.net Raabu and Piisu GPG 1024D/36352AAB fpr:756D F615 B4F3 BFFC 02C7 84B7 D8D7 6ECE 3635 2AAB _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
