-===== Enabling Top-Only Mode =====+===== Disabling Relay Mode =====
  
-Top-only mode allows you to access most of the network features with a much smaller db size (~1GB instead of ~10GB)Enabling this doesn't support the network as much as full node, so it is best to only enable top-only mode in situations where it's not possible to hold the full 10GB+ db. This is more of a setting to compensate computers with low storage space - but it also benefits those seeking to  reduce bandwidth as it downloads a smaller database each bootstrapTo enable top-only mode, add this setting: +Data can be relayed through our nodes in order for other nodes to communicateAll of this data is end-to-end encrypted, and is also chunked so the data is not relayed on single node. The data being relayed is only on your node long enough to conduct the transfer, and is deleted afterwards automatically. Users can choose to opt out of relay mode if their lack of understanding with this matter raises too much concernGetting data around the network is difficult and requires more fine tuning even with relay mode enabled (which greatly helps the network). You can read more about this topic on the [[Qortal Data Network (QDN)]] page.
