I am not saying that it will never be possible, it's just not a reasonable thing to encourage people to do now given the current state of the network. If fish wants to work on this that's great. Freenet is better than internet radio. You should be able to write a client that prefetches and concatenates files from a dynamic playlist and presents them over HTTP. That would play to Freenet's strength's much more than encouraging people to re-insert the same data over and over via "streaming insert clients". > > > You don't want fred to have to compete with code that is running > > continuous FEC decoding in the same JVM.

If you really care so passionately about "streaming", what about doing some work to figure out what's going on with CPU usage? [point for point rehashing of take no hostages comp sci debate on stability and encapsulation verses efficiency omitted. ] I don't appreciate your tone and ad hominum attacks. I have limited time to devote to this project and the amount that I would waste engaging in this kind of debate is directly subtracted from it. So I refuse.

All I meant is that when the FCP server is overwhelmed, it can stop answering requests. --gj p.s. Fish, I am not out to get you. Testing in fred's JVM is fine. As far as widespread deployment goes I guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it. _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
