Before 0.3 we need to do something about the port 19114 thing. I don't like the fact that 99% of all nodes end up using this port just because Ian picked that number of the top of his head when he wrote the sample.freenetrc. The more nodes that operate on the same port, the easier it is for network operators to block or seriously impede Freenet access. It should be running on any port, sub 1024 if possible, and even ports used by other common applications if they are not present (80, 23, 25, 20, 21). Could somebody have a look at the install scripts and make the default port in the .freenetrc a random number with each install? (It has to be per install, not per run basis, of course). -- \oskar _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
