Re: Re: Take down notices on Bittorrent

Bigger file size is not necessarily harder. For fetching, especially if
we can pull off non-segmented FEC, it is much easier to make the
fetching of big files fast. Having said that the first alpha of 0.7 may
have a rather low datastore limit due to the size of some memory
structures. I am here replying to Todd's remarks, from a technical
perspective. I am not endorsing the insertion of illegal filez into
freenet (personally I don't pirate movies, software, or music, partly
for political reasons).
