Yea, data persistence isn't that great at the moment. But you "hosting" all the data just isn't how Freenet works. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) Each node is intended to specialize around a tight keyspace -- I believe this is intrinsic to the routing algorithms. I'm not sure how your "location" (every node has one, which is directly related to the keys you're supposed to specialize in) would be handled if you hacked the code to promiscuously handle any key. My guess is it would make the topology of the network less efficient. > so, ahh, what does the persistence column exactly mean in freenet?
