I haven't seen this addressed in any of the documentation I've looked at:

Does Tahoe-lafs do any optimization on downloads?

I'm currently downloading a file that another user on the grid uploaded. he
then shot me the URI.

After attaching the URI to a directory listing, I saw that two of the shares
are on the machine I'm downloading to, and four are on another machine
within my local network.

Has any work been done on indexing nodes for "closeness?"

Once again, it's one of those "obviously simple" things that isn't at all
easy to implement.
