[tahoe-dev] Introducing pubgrid, the new high-throughput public storage grid

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

So how well is the new volunteer-based public grid doing?

Let's see, it shows 6 servers connected at the moment. Which is not
bad, actually, if they have good reliability and performance!

I wish the introducer welcome page would tell me how much capacity
they each have available (#648).

Well, I guess I'll upload some files to it and see how it works!

…

Well, it works!

The download speed through my local gateway running on my own laptop
looked like this:

Here is the file in question. It is an old copy of my blog. I'm
looking for a more recent copy of my blog…   :-)
