Nonexistant blocks clog up bitswap #830

Closed

Description

If you request a block that does not exist in the network, bitswap will keep it in its wantlist and expend a significant amount of effort into finding that block. I'm not sure what the best way to solve this is, because what if the requested block is just really far away on a computer with a spotty internet connection? At what point is it acceptable to give up the search?
