I suppose, but is it so hard to detect what the subdirs are called?

However, the default is not to cache stuff inserted locally (this is an interesting treachery/store seizure risk tradeoff). DSOnly doesn't make much sense for inserts in a production environment. However maybe it is useful for testing... IgnoreDS doesn't make sense because the datastore is always ignored for local inserts, IIRC; they always go the full distance even if data is already available. Well, we could have a flag to not check the store for SSK collisions... but that would suck. > > There are probably more things to come. > > Give me more information, > David > > [1] http://wiki.freenetproject.org/FreenetFCPSpec2Point0 -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
