many tradeoffs.
First, some terms: the erasure-coding algorithm is described as ``k``-out-of-``N``
-(for this release, the default values are ``k``=3 and ``N``=10). Each grid will

have some number of nodes; this number will rise and fall over time as nodes
join, drop out, come back, and leave forever. Files are of various sizes, some
are popular, others are unpopular. Nodes have various capacities, variable
