Ok.

I also get quite some of these:

Hmm. Why does fred close his connections prematurely? It's not because
you are restarting fred?
No, I'm not restarting fred. Frost and fuqid also don't show errors like this.

set the "default priority" in advanced settings so that the mapfile is
inserted "first". This should speed your insert up somehow. Then you
can disable to "ignore local datastore". This will make your insert
much faster, but much less reliable as well. I don't know what FUQID
is doing, but if it does similar things, I understand that insert is
faster.
I'll give it try on the next insert.

A "sandbox" is a area of limited functionality where one can control a 
programs behavior. Think of it more like a "jail". Java applets (web 
applets, not Freenet) run a in sandbox. This way, if the program is 
malicious (or badly written), it can't do any damage outside the 
"sandbox" (in theory, anyway). If a Java applet tries to do something 
not allowed by the security policy (write a file, open a network 
connection, change the security policy, etc), Java will raise an 
exception. Note the ActiveX controls do NOT run in a sandbox.

For Linux, there was a project, Subterfugue, which could create a 
"sandbox" for a program, but its not currently maintained. There is also 
User-mode Linux (UML), which lets you run Linux in Linux - everything 
run the the UML environment is "trapped" and can't do any damage outside 
its environment.

You can download something which claims to do this from:

So it can give them to windows users. We download all the components,

Re: [freenet-support] This error is showing up in my logs a LOT

2004-03-11 Thread Toad
I'd guess it was a problem with the OS, or the JVM. You can however work
around it by setting ipAddress= and ipDetectorInterval=0
in the config file (remove any preceding %'s or #'s first), and of
course restarting the node.

[freenet-support] Periodically restarting the node...

2004-03-11 Thread Krist van Besien
Hello,

As on my system my node reliably goes haywire after about 6 to eight 
hours I need to restart it periodically. I'm just wondering what the 
effect is on how well my node is integrated in the network.

I read on the list that a node needs to be online for a while until it 
will have gathered enough info about neighbouring nodes to server 
content with any rate of success.

So what will teh effect be if I restart my node every six hours?

Hmm. Good idea. However, I'm not sure that you CAN run a freenet ndoe
with any reasonable performance if it's limited to 3GB/mo as is common
in oz. Technically, the solution is the average bandwidth limiter.
However this is not known to work well (it is pretty much untested since
NIO), mostly because no developers have that sort of connection. Perhaps
we should put some effort in, but I'm not sure that it's proportionate
as users with such connections won't get much out of or contribute much
to Freenet. Yes, it might be useful for the occasional content author,
so it IS worth thinking about; it's just that they'll be put off by the
dire performance implied.

Somebody want to maintain a freesite that links to controversial
material but doesn't link to illegal material? A lot of it is a matter
of judgement and personal ethics - Thought Crime links to Mein Kampf and
an article on bestiality as well as a lot of overtly political stuff.
Anyway, YoYo's Controversy section is a good start.

Re: [freenet-support] need a program to crawl links in freenet

Unfortunately crawling freenet via HTTP will have the main effect of
DoSing your freenet node, because every web download takes up a thread,
and we therefore limit parallel HTTP downloads to 24-36. Ideally you'd
want a real FCP spider; there must be one out there somewhere.

This option. There are 49 nodes that your node knows about. No one node
will normally know about the whole of the rest of the network.

Stable branch: around 10,000 nodes, I don't know what amount of data,
probably in the gigabytes range, in terms of actually reachable content;
might be more. We can't accurately count either users or content because
of freenet's anonymous nature.

No.

Not all the links are inserted every day, so some of them will remain
unreachable. However I'd expect the node to saturate your uplink, or at
least, to saturate the set bandwidth limit which default to 12kB/sec,
within 24 hours or so; performance should have improved significantly in
that time.

One other thing: if you are behind a NAT or firewall, you will have to
jump through some hoops (not only forwarding the listenport, but also
telling the node what it's external IP address is in the config).

Re: [freenet-support] How to (REALLY) get on the NEW unstable branch

2004-03-11 Thread Toad
If you run behind a firewall, you are expected to be a power user. If
you run on dialup, you are expected not to get very far. Apart from
that, it ought to work, at least sometimes, even on the default stable
network, according to recent support reports.

No. There are several ways to evaluate it. My favourite is "push/pull
tests". Insert a file on one node, and fetch it from another unrelated
node. How long does it take? How many retries? Etc. That is one
performance measure. Another one is "does streaming work?". Nobody has
been crazy enough to try recently to the best of my knowledge :).

[freenet-support] Duplicated references

2004-03-11 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the current unstable seednodes there are
 313 references, but only 162 unique nodes.

Of the 162, a lot are artifacts leaved by
 updating or changing port.

Can this be a problem, considering the
 current hight reseeding frequency ?

FWIW.   Marco
