 > hi, i'm uploading a lot of small files (~1KB) to a directory. i've
 noticed that for every upload tahoe "downloads" the directory which is
 over 300KB and growing. this makes sense but it's a little frustrating
 that most time and bandwidth is spent on it. is there any way to make this
 more efficient?

 Using set-children would make this case more efficient.
