Re: [freenet-chat] Automatic /. mirroring on Freenet
The beauty of this is that it would get lots of /. browsers to install freenet, and therefor provide more disk space, bandwidth, etc. and increase availability.

I think it would be possible, and it would be a great way to promote freenet, but somehow i have the feeling that the freenet network itself is not yet ready for it. Maybe its just me, but i spent an afternoon setting up a node, and altough i could reach stuff wich was uploaded to freenet for debugging, i couldnt reach anything else.

The "slashdot effect" describes when a website is brought down by the sudden influx of traffic caused by a referral on Slashdot.org. Mirroring slashdot itself wouldn't really help with this. You'd have to mirror every site referred to as soon as an article referring to it was posted, as the slashdot effect tends to hit within an hour or so of the referral being posted. --- Revenant [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- "When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives." - Robert A.

[freenet-chat] Automatic /. mirroring on Freenet
Someone should definitely explore the possibility of setting-up an automatic /. mirror on Freenet - to help address the serious problem of the /. effect. Slashdot's excuses in their FAQ for not setting up a cache are pretty lame, almost every ISP uses caches of one form or another, as does Google, and as far as I know, nobody complains about it.
