== 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 v0.5.1 (note that this is incompatible with the 0.4.0 release).

After installing the code according to the [source:README README], set up a client node with the following files in its base directory:

||file name||file contents||
||[/testnet/introducer.furl introducer.furl]||{{{pb://xextf3eap44o3wi27mf7ehiur6wvhzr6@207.7.153.180:56677,127.0.0.1:56677/introducer}}}||
||[/testnet/vdrive.furl vdrive.furl]||{{{pb://xextf3eap44o3wi27mf7ehiur6wvhzr6@207.7.153.180:56677,127.0.0.1:56677/vdrive}}}||

== Test Grid Statistics ==

=== average shares per file ===
this hints at the number of nodes in the overall grid; If the number of hosts in the grid is less than 10, then shares_per_file should equal about 10/numhosts
