Not terribly well, because of high level bandwidth limiting. The node needs to know how much bandwidth is available to estimate how much is being used and therefore how many queries to allow. > > > > So I've been working towards a Linux traffic shaper that gives sets no > limits > > > on traffic with domestic IP addresses and limits international traffic > so the > > > total monthly limit hits 5 Gb (my cap). > > > > HOW do you determine what is local?

There is sadly no priority in it ATM. To help one user run a node in a wierd situation... hmm. I'll think about it. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
