You don't need to implement a background download manager to randomize the segment download order. One could use a pseudorandom sequence randomizer (seeded by the second-from-the-epoch the download was started maybe?), and translate the randomized sequence to the in-order sequence. Remember to hide the fact that the order is being randomized from the user, no need to make Freenet look more complicated. OTOH, a background download manager would be nice to have. > > > -- > Matthew Toseland > toad at amphibian.dyndns.org/amphibian at users.sourceforge.net > Full time freenet hacker. > http://freenetproject.org/ > Freenet Distribution Node (temporary) at > http://80-192-4-36.cable.ubr09.na.blueyonder.co.uk:8889/069-bfPzGwU/ > ICTHUS. _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
