Hi there, That's on my to-do list already, but I plan to do that after the redesign. I think that tests now would only confirm what we already know.
I'm at a good point with the redesign (feedback is always appreciated), even if there is a lot of work to be done yet, I can't wait to start the implementation. When operhiem is ready I'm ready. ;-) - mak On 5 August 2013 20:19, Robert Hailey <robert at freenetproject.org> wrote: > > On 2013/08/05 (Aug), at 1:57 PM, Matthew Toseland wrote: > > > Freenet has over 900 downloads a day, yet only a small number of nodes > are added to the network. > > ... a lot of people are downloading Freenet but not reaching the point > of having working opennet nodes. > > Ouch.
