In a typical freesite insert, part of the site will disappear down the black hole - some routing sub-optimality, with the result that most of the site is accessible, but some files won't load no matter how many times you reload them, until days later when it has propagated. Note that generally most things are accessible immediately.
There are several possible reactions to this: - ZIP manifests may improve the reliability of freesites (as well as decreasing the time taken to insert them and the disk space used), because they are FECced. - Measures can be taken to try harder to find content, specifically per-node failure tables. This would make it likely that popular content which has been lost on the network somewhere it shouldn't be will eventually be found and propagated. - Push/pull tests and work on the testnet to try to identify why content is being lost. - Any other ideas? Probably all of the above are a good idea... -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
