A belated thank you to everyone who responded in this thread. The comments have been a great help.
Also you guys very kindly stumbled onto a problem I'm tackling at the moment regarding using peer uptime to predict remaining uptime. I've submitted the following paper to P2P09, it highlights some of the studies that show how uptime can be used: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~rmp/files/stillAlive.pdf <http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/%7Ermp/files/stillAlive.pdf> Comments, criticisms, feedback and/or heckling are welcome. Kind regards, Richard. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list p2p-hackers@lists.zooko.com http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
