On the Protocol side of the house, [version 0.20](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/releases/tag/v0.20.0rc9) is undergoing refactoring and improvements to the way blob announcement is handled and other DHT enhancements around peer availability. We were able to bring the blob announce times from 1 or 2 per second, to 25 per second (our target is 100 per second!). With these changes, our team hopes to improve the consistency of content availability on the network. A fair amount of time was also spent identifying and fixing our reflector servers to ensure that content uploaded by users is passed correctly to our content nodes. Before these changes, certain content would not be reflected properly which resulted in unavailable content if the original uploader was not online. Finally, development efforts on both the client and server side of our [wallet functionality](#wallet) have been progressing nicely.
### Content Blocking and DMCA
In early April, LBRY Inc. received its first set of legitimate DMCA take down requests for a fair amount of infringing content LBRY URLs. This can be seen as a positive development because it means LBRY is on the map as a legitimate content sharing platform! Due to the decentralized nature of LBRY, we cannot remove content metadata from the blockchain, but as a company creating services which use the data, we must follow local laws. This means we have to block access to infringing URLs and make sure the content itself is deleted from our hosts (even though it could still be hosted by the original upload and by others who have downloaded it). The latest version of the app provided the ability to block infringing content.
