Global _AVERAGE_. It means your server is slightly slower then the average server out there. It does _NOT_ mean that you're handling 80%+ of the requests in freenet total! > Just for the record, this is the jvm from my environment page.

No. You are not providing 10k of the global 12k queries. In fact if your routing table has the usual (50 entries) you're handling less then 1.6% of the total traffic "local" to you. > I'm going to give freenet one more month to improve.

THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. Good luck. As a side, can we ban "old" unstable builds from the network? Allow stable >= last release, unstable >= a few builds ago, experimental >= a few builds ago. Most of the arguments against randomly bumping builds is about killing the last release. But since then there have been TONS of unstable nodes, all of which are allowed, and quite a few have lethal network bugs. (Like the opening of millions of connections and never using them) Unless we do that already and I'm missing something, but looks like we are still allowing unstable from 654, and ANY Stable build. freenet.Version.checkGoodVersion() is what I'm looking into. --Dan
