I'm not the person to ask, but I will share a brief story. After sharing
bandwith and content for 56 hours, I tried to download a 600 MB file. The
download started at 4.8 kB/s and decayed to 100 B/s within five minutes.
Whether this was caused by my node burning through its cash or some other
problem in GNUnet I know not, but it would seem that built-up trust with
other nodes doesn't actually get you very far.
So yeah, just request right away.
