That was cut and pasted from a Freenet site that I read, who asked
that I not name the source ("so it doesn't get summarily dismissed").
In full:
I Protest - Freenet's "Couldn't Retrieve Key" error page is ruining
the use of Freesite Iframes for no good reason . Every time the
"Couldn't Retrieve Key" appears there is 62 browser connections to
Freenet, yes 62. One to bring up the page and 61 for a dazzling
array of little graphics around tables... and people wonder why
Freenet is so slooow. If a page has 5 empty Iframe NIM slots thats
5slots x 62connections x 4+retries = over 1000 connections for
what?. I'm sure whoever came up with the idea of tables with fancy
little graphics on the edges for Freenet error pages had good
intentions but please couldn't this be simplified to make Freenet
more usefull and Freesites better? Below is an example of an error
page that has 3 connections, one for the page, one for the rabbit
and one for a spacer, I think it's pretty good, an error page like
this would look fine and help freenet performance and Freesites
immensly. Thank You and could some kind soul bring this up on the
Developers list or IIP (hint, hint, Grey Cat, who has so tirelessly
and patiently helped out Freenet users lo these many years, don't
mention where it came from so it doesn't get summarily dismissed)
I think he's correct. It's even more noticeable if you're browsing
Freenet over an ssh tunnel (say, from your browser at work to your
Freenet node at home).
The IIP-to-OPN mirror is done by a bot named "iip" running on Freenode
(formerly known as OPN). A user named 'mids' runs the bot. The main
round-robin for Freenode is irc.freenode.net.
