I had uploaded 2 bigger files: File1 and File2 (Map creation takes a while)
Both show that the distribution of pieces is mainly in the Europe and North America region and I am wondering if this is a desired outcome.
In terms of redundancy and fast worldwide access, I would have expected a broader distribution. Both files seem to have not a single pieces stored in Australia very few in the Asia/Pacific region anyway. Almost none in Africa and very few again in South America.
What is the reason for that? I assume it is that the fastest nodes get selected, which might naturally be closer to where the uploader is. I wonder if such an outcome is really a good one or if the pieces should be broader distributed over all geographical regions for the reasons above.
