I've been getting lots of RNFs accompanied by my favorite Freenet error message,
Attempts were made to contact 0 nodes. * 0 were totally unreachable. * 0 restarted. * 0 cleanly rejected. The network load servlet says: * entries: 50 * globalRequestsPerHour: 4426.84 * localRequestsPerHour: 3499.1343 which is certainly abnormally high. The node ref status page says: Number of node references: 19 Contacted node references: 18 Backed off node references: 9 Total Trials: 149542 Total Successes: 77448 Which is WAY abnormal -- I usually have at least 80 node references. I think Freenet's spiraling downward: nodes are overloaded, so requests time out, so Fred drops node references, meaning it has fewer from which to choose, meaning those fewer get even *more* overloaded, .... That's on my Linux node. On my OpenBSD node, I just updated CVS (rel-0-5-0) and restarted. The load is at 100% (pretty much immediately). The node ref status page says: Number of node references: 32 Contacted node references: 32 Backed off node references: 10 Total Trials: 963 Total Successes: 296 Again, this is unhealthy. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody." greg at wooledge.org | - The Red Hot Chili Peppers http://wooledge.org/~greg/ | -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
