Re: [Social-discuss] P2P or server approach?

[Orton AKINCI aka .-_-.]

this system of wuala you mentioned looks like freenet's distributed storage 
system that 

"works by pooling the contributed bandwidth and storage space of member 
computers to allow users to anonymously publish or retrieve various kinds of 
information...Files on Freenet are typically split into multiple small blocks, 
with additional blocks added to provide redundancy. Each block is handled 
independently, meaning that a single file may have parts stored on many 
different nodes"(from wikipeida)

data is also encytpted which solves privacy problem and this model also solves 
the con of a pure p2p system as sylvan has written. that the user would become 
inaccesible if goes offline...

Such a system would look like this:
