Here is [http://pubgrid.tahoe-lafs.org/ the welcome page] which has a list of connected nodes, recent uploads and downloads, and performance statistics. == How To Connect To The Public Test Grid == The test grid is subject to being updated at random times, so compatibility is likely to break without notice. Also note that many upgrades require all files and directories to be flushed, especially as storage formats change. The test grid is currently running an 1.0.0-compatible release (allmydata-tahoe: 1.8.0) (see "My versions" on the welcome page for the current version of the web gateway server). After setting up the code according to [http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/quickstart.html docs/quickstart.html], edit the following lines into its tahoe.cfg file: {{{ #!html
