66	peers failure tolerance	lvo	lvo	"-Linux ubuntu4lu 2.6.20-15-server #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:41:34 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
-# allmydata-tahoe  --version
Twisted version: 2.5.0

In my testing, I have 1 introducer and 3 clients.  
I uploaded a large file (450MB) via peer #3  (btw, it only works with peer #3 due to it having 1GB RAM.  The others have 512MB and could not handle the large file)

If I take down BOTH peer #1 and peer#2  ,  I can still download the file.
If I take down peer#3, the file starts to download but cannot be completed.

Is there any predictable way to know what is the failure tolerance ?  
It would be good to also have the client knows ahead of time that it cannot provide a complete file based on the information polled from all other peers.

Thanks.
Lu
