Sometimes when I re-start GTKG after being down for a few days I have to clear the host cache. Otherwise GTKG spends a whole lot of time (and lots of stalled connections) trying to connect to non-existent clients. > Exponential is good up to a certain point.

Do we do anything with our bad host cache data (which I assume is clients we counld not connect to). > If people can't bootstrap easily, they will go away from Gnutella. > I'd say if after 10 minutes they're not connected, they'll switch to > some other network after a first try.
