That's why it would be a good idea to be able to insert content into your local node and have it be kept there. You can do that with a little bit of effort but having this ability built in would be a good idea. Thus if the keys are read only they won't be deleted by someone trying to do a massive insert, or by these individuals trying to request their content over and over so it spreads. _______________________________________________ chat mailing list [email protected] Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
