I don't think that would be big problem for us -- we would only be hosting open material and my understanding of tahoe was that it can be configured to replicate chunks a given number of times in classic p2p fashion. > what order of magnitude are the storage requirements? Somewhere in the region 100 GB - 5 TM at the moment -- the large uncertainty is due to the fact that we are currently not doing a whole bunch of things because we don't have the capacity and it is not certain in advance how much capacity they will exactly require (e.g. hosting datasets from CKAN0. > another good option might be public p2p distribution, through bittorrent > hosting sites like vipeers.com or other software derivatives like wuala.com We though about a bittorrent option originally.

How does the system control what a given node will store?
