Hello all,

A suggestions (kind of directed to Carl and the other Devs, but open to comments from all)

With a recent change to the XML, EACH user, has thier ALL host informatoin sored in user.xml. What this in effect does is DRAMATICALLY increase the size of user.xml NEEDLESSLY.

ALL of this information is already in Host.xml (apart from the corresponding userid). All you would need to do is for EACH HOST entry in host.xml, add another coloumn called USERID and store it there. In effect increasing the size by only 1 line per HOST, instead of minimum 11 lines (max 11 line per host running per user) in user.xml

This is how both SETI and Predictor currently do it, and will save you a LOT of bandwidth.

Just a suggestion,

Zain
