<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">First of all, we all know that regions do store certain things now, such as prims. In a grid environment, primarily textures are stored on a centralized asset server currently.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">There is a move afoot by some to consider having the client store textures, prims and perhaps scripts.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Should this move gather momentum, we were only talking about an initialization switch that would allow a client so-equipped to either be allowed, or not be allowed to download certain types of data from the region or grid.</DIV>

<DIV>Sort of, yes. Though that little issue would be relatively well taken care of with the idea of a setting in OpenSim.ini which allows the owner of a grid to toggle whether assets are stored server side or elsewhere. Charles and I had discussed that the other day on this list.<BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>I must say I am also a bit confused, where did you read and what makes you think that assets will be stored anywhere else beside server side at this point?? perhaps i have missed something, but right now the clients do not support client side asset storage, i do not recall anyone even talking about this option.<BR></DIV></DIV><BR><!-- kill -->
