Warning to those doing big downloads/uploads with Freenet-level disk encryption (physical security of LOW or higher):
There are some serious-ish issues, we are working on them. You might want to delay updating. I will put out a snapshot later today: 1. FEC decoding/encoding is not prioritised. So a big download finishing / upload starting can block fproxy. 2. Last summer I identified a problem with disk encryption: In Bouncycastle 1.50, there is seekable encryption (needed for disk encryption with purge-db4o) but actually seeking can be very slow.
