    Download Nodes

    Hello, I have a problem with flash where I cant use the services.nirvanix.com url to download files where I need trust via a crossdomain file, the files come down from one of the nodes, but the crossdomain.xml comes back from the services domain. This is not a problem, it just means I have todo a getDownloadNodes() before the request and use the node domain for the file. But, do I need to do this every request? I'm going to be listing a few 100 images so don't want all those extra requests + the crossdomain.xml requests. Is it safe to do one getDownloadNodes() and use that for all future requests in the entire session, or could some files not be on some nodes? Anthony

    Re: Download Nodes

    You can do one getDownloadNodes the problem will be if any files are on other nodes (which they can be).  In the case they are on different nodes, if you request a file on node1 and it exists on node2 then you will be redirected to node2.  This shouldn't be too much of an issue if most of your files are on a single node but be careful of this because if a node goes down and we need to redirect you to another node this could cause many redirects.
