Interesting. Last time I tried it, I got reasonable keywords. But the code
changed in the meantime, so if it is reproducable, I guess we have a bug to
fix. Well, Blake & I were planning on refactoring the insert-XXX code anyway,
so there is a good chance that this will be fixed as soon as the semester 
here ends... Keyword extraction for .ogg files should also appear shortly. 
Shell-scripting as a general solution sounds too much like a hack for me (but 
it's certainly a workaround).

You need to wait a while until a running node actually finds new content that 
was made available after it started. Also, nodes may deferr queries for up to 
30s if there is no other traffic (to make traffic analysis harder). 
Furthermore, I suspect there are be some tuning problems which make the
time it takes for the download go up dramatically. When I try these
experiments, bandwidth and CPU usage are minimal, so it is definitely not
a problem with excessive resource usage (more that we're sitting ducks a bit 
too often...).
