Well... FreeMail is quite usefully automated. And should be reasonably
reliable as long as Freenet is working... of course freenet isn't
working well enough for FreeMail to work well...

Re: [freenet-support] RE: trouble getting any information

2004-07-01 Thread Nicholas Sturm
Restarted freenet last night.  Slow to make contacts but by an hour later
62 were open and freenet seemed to be behaving nicely together with SETI
running. CPU at 100% but behavior was what I now call normal.

At about noon today I checked and data transferred was many megs and
messages were at about 15,000 on two most active connections.  Checked mail
and came back about an hour later to find that SETI had transmitted results
and was not maximized any longer.  Then I realized that system seemed
inactive.  ISP had closed connection and I had some difficulty getting
anything to respond.  Finally after right click on rabbit in tray, I was
able to open popup window and stopped freenet.  Few things started to show
apparent activity and I could then maximize SETI and it had completed about
6% of a job after sending and bringing down a new job.

I then reconnected and restarted freenet and function seemed to return.  I
checked the log and it showed a very long segment of failures.  (Log was at
about 2.5 megs.)  Errors continued abundantly as I expected since contact
had been lost from other nodes for some time.  Shut down.  (To do other
work.)  About three hours later I tried to restart, but experience little
success.  Log hung when I tried to work back through the log (problem
here?).  Finally shut down OS and restarted.

The apparent hang from shut down of ISP connection I had not observed
before (not to say that I actually know it never did).  Is this common? 
Will freenet do this when only it is producing high CPU usage or could it
be because two programs were trying to work at maximum level (SETI 
freenet)?  Should freenet not detect loss of internet connection and not go
blindly on with unsuccessful high usage?  I would think that when finally
operating this should not be allowed to happen as ISP closure would
certainly not be uncommon with large numbers of nodes running (even if it
only happens with multiple high demands on CPU).

Recently checked thread usage and seems seldom to go beyond 700 even when
system very busy.

Oh,  2KWin and Sun Java (recent).  256 memory.  Dial up connection.  ~18.6
hard drives capacity each of two(C: pretty high, about 1.5 gig open, D:
with about 4-5 gig open).  What else important?

I've seen it work almost fine for some time over unstable, but at some 
point something gets corrupted in the database and no progress can be 
made; messages don't get dispatched nor received... at least that's not 
freenet's fault. It was on a WinXP.

Yesterday I tried to run it in linux and didn't managed to insert my 
identity on stable. Too many time stuck, and the node was running 
great... maybe I'll try some other day.

But seriously, the concept of freemail is great... I'd say a must have 
application for a working freenet 1.0

I tried to use it on stable, but it doesn't work that good. Almost all of
the times it tries to insert a message an gets a RNF it doesn't remember
the slot it used to insert. So after some hours the same message got inserted
in multiple slots. To make it worse, the message somehow got through and got
confirmed by the receiver, but freemail didn't get it right and was still
trying to insert the message. After an manual count I saw that the one
message I did send was inserted into about 80 receiver slots and there was
no way to tell freemail to stop inserting it again and again into new slots.
Additionally the freemail process stalled totally after some hours using
all available CPU which means I had to run it on a very low priority or
it would starve my freenet node to death.
All this is with the latest windows version of freemail, don't know if
the linux version runs better.
My conclusion about it: nice idea but far from beeing usable at the moment.

2004-07-01 Thread Toad
You have no idea WHY it lost the connection to the ISP? Did they contact
you to complain about bandwidth usage or anything? How do you connect to
the internet? Has that changed recently?

[freenet-support] Difference between Connection Attempts and Requests.

2004-07-01 Thread Weiliang Zhang
What are the difference between these two set of data?
http://127.0.0.1:/servlet/nodestatus/inboundContacts.txt
http://127.0.0.1:/servlet/nodestatus/inboundRequests.txt
Inbound contact attempts is different from inbound requests??
