Ok, let's start again. 1. You CAN change the storesize using the Config page. What makes you think you cannot 2. You MUST enter storesize in Megabytes. You cannot enter, e.g. "28G" (meaning: 28 Gigabytes) because the entry field is numeric only. Any storesize you want to set up must be entered in megabytes. So instead of entering "28G", enter "28000". 3. You CAN enter storeSize=28G into freenet.ini/freenet.conf. This is because freenet.ini/freenet.conf are just text files. Freenet understands what 28G means. The Config dialog on Windows does not. 4. The FIRST time you run the Config dialog on Windows, after a fresh install, the storesize that appears is calculated as the minimum of (256, free disk space/10). That's in megabytes too. It's not a random number
5. If it looks like your storesize is varying wildly and unpredictably, and/or you cannot change the value using the config utility and/or freenet.ini/freenet.conf then this is a bug and should be reported as such, and then it will be fixed. d > ----- Forwarded message from Nicholas Sturm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > ----- > > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: Nicholas Sturm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Toad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [freenet-support] Confusing labels in configuration > > That which described how to enter said value, i.e., on the Config page > from > the tray bunnie.
