Saw that too! With SweClockers being a populars Swedish tech site, I can only imagine that bandwidth and latency would be lower for European contributors if that came online.Jorgeminator wrote:KTH Royal Institute of Technology seems to have fired up one, too.

This got me thinking about the FAH network setup in general:
- Why isn't the "Collection Server network" redundant? (today always a single ip for CS delivery). And where a local server could be preferred? (for CS:s not cloud based). Especially because WU:s have an expiration timer, and a point system is in place... all this non-uploaded work need a confirmation it has been done, or those WU:s will be sent out again, right?
- Why can't users of the Client not only share their GPU and CPU, but also their hard drive and network card?
...and where all this idling waiting for WU:s could be used to cater say a "Peer-2-peer network", where CS:s are supernodes..
... and having WU:s that been waiting for upload for more than 2days
