Description

Instead of the single value now stored in tahoe.cfg, we thought to have a list of Helpers and the possibility to select one of them from that list using a particular selection algorithm.

a- Allow for a variable number of helpers, statically contained in "BASEDIR/helpers."

b- Before sending a file to the helper

1- Check all the helpers to retrieve their statistics.

2- Choose the helper with best stats.

c- Send the cyphertext to the chosen Helper

Change History (2)
