Yes.

Right.

No, they may not work.

That would be the "super-query". Up to 25 leaves (a 1k) are summarized with 
just one entry in the content bloomfilter. The summary is also called the 
"super query".

Downloaded content will only show up in the *keyword* bloomfilter, which is in 
this case slightly misnamed. A better description would be the "single block 
filter". Since you receive content one block at a time (without reliable 
super-query information), that content is stored as a single blocks in the 
gdbm/tdb database and flagged in what you call the keyword bloomfilter.

Put whatever you have into Mantis, this will allow the largest number of 
people to see the problems and to catch up on how they are being addressed 
(or when). (http://www.ovmj.org/~mantis/)
