Do we agree that most darknet nodes idle? Or do we atleast agree that most testnet nodes idle? The testenviroment right now is quite perfect, the inserts should be fast right now. What I am saying is that if downloads are fast, inserts have to be as fast, because we don't use more bandwith per link. The asynchronous connections are problem for all p2p protocols, they are not only a problem with uploads, they limit the downloads aswell. For inserts the speed limit is the per link bandwith (well for downloads aswell) but I get told all the time it has something to do with number of hops, which can't be true. We should check different strategies in testnet till inserts are fast at least in testnet...
