I think 5% uf freenetusers know of the --resetDS thingy. Most just delete the store file, and get a new ref. I guess we have to get the node harvester up and running soon, that would help this. But another question: When I look at the NodeStatus page (Great thing ;) why doesnt the node just ignore the BAD ADDRESS refs?? If you can't resolve them why try to connect?? The same goes for refs that you can't connect to because of Authentication failures, those should also be dropped and never tried again. The node should also autosave its refs every hour (including CP) or so and read this file on startup. -- | Are ?rseth | elrond at idi.ntnu.no | http://ctemp.dhs.org/ | | tlf: 73886876 | mob: 410 00548 _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
