    At least, they're having another copy of your files on their servers. So when their P2P network goes down, they'll revert back to a traditionial online storage mode...

    What about the availability of my files?
    We can't give any guarantees or service level agreements at the moment. Instead, we offer you our promise that we will do our best to make sure your data is always available. Your encrypted files are stored redundantly on our servers so that even if a server crashes, they can be resurrected. Encrypted fragments of your files are also stored in the grid storage which provides an additional backup.

    Under this circumstance, I think it was funny, that they recommended leaving the client running in order to reconnect automagically again once the login service was fixed. Sounds like a bad idea while having login issues...

    I had dropped connections with a netgear router years ago. Not packet loss, but long living TCP sessions such as SSH got dropped while running gnutella. Crippelware so to say.
