That is correct. Sonax, maintainer of FIND, has been having problems with the spider used to generate the index, and hasn't had the time or inclination to fix it. He's still inserting the site daily, but the actual index data has not been updated in a couple of months now. I've offered to help him resolve whatever issues are involved, but he says he just doesn't have the time or motivation to do it at this time.

Marco I follow the advice given by FIW (the Freesite Insertion Wizard), i.e., for DBR sites, use a lower HTL (say, 15) than for an edition site or a "one-shot" site (where you may want to use, say, 25). This makes sense, and seems to work well enough. The reasoning behind this is that the more frequently a site's data is updated, the less need for very deep insertions, as much of the data will be unchanged from one insert to the next, therefore a certain amount of redundancy is involved, resulting in an automatic "reinforcement" of the data within the network. Less frequently inserted data, on the other hand, basically only gets one chance to "take", and will benefit from the deeper insertion (God, this sounds dirty, doesn't it?), distributing the data as far as possible into the network initially, helping it to later disseminate to other nodes more easily. Of course, there are other factors to consider as well. Some of the more popular edition/one-shot sites may be accessed much more frequently than some DBR sites, thereby helping the data to propagate throughout the network, whereas some less popular DBR sites may actually benefit from deeper insertion. It's not a perfect science; there are really no hard-and-fast rules. Just common sense and good judgement, basically, combined with how long you're willing to wait for your inserts to complete. :-) HTH -- Conrad J.
