Weird. node.db4o was an insane 375 MB. I deleted it and and added a bunch of downloads. Now it is less than 10 MB. That definitely helped some with the disk thrashing. I think I found the main problem, and I'm embarrassed to say apparantly I had xmlspider plugin running and writing GB+ files to the same disk the node resides on. I turned this off and the disk usage became manageable. I also upgraded my HDD from an older 2 MB cache model to one with 16 MB and now Freenet is zipping along nicely. I did see some errors in the log so I am sending it to Toad for review. P.S. I would recommend not installing the xmlspider by default on installs.

Is it normal that node.db4o never shrinks? I have completed all the downloads I had running and removed them from the page, yet node.db4o doesn't get smaller. I have rebooted the node also. This IMHO is bad because it will eventually kill performance with disk access...
[freenet-support] newbie question- Freenet doesn't restart with Mac restart
Hi All, Please excuse what might seem like a stupid question. I'm just beginning to experiment with Freenet. I could not find this topic in the archives. I have only some limited tech knowledge. specs: * Freenet 0.7 Build #1209 rbuild01209-real * Freenet-ext Build #26 r23771 # JVM Version: 1.5.0_16-132 # OS Name: Mac OS X # OS Version: 10.4.11 # OS Architecture: i386 I install with the web installer for Mac on the freenetproject.org page. I choose the autostart option. A browser launches and all works well. No shortcut to Freenet is installed on my desktop (as was the case on previous explorations some years ago on a Win2000 machine.) However, if I shut down or have to restart my machine or node for any reason, no browser (I use Firefox 3.0.5) can access fproxy with 127.0.0.1:. That page is "unavailable". I'd rather not have to re-install and rebuild the datastore every time. Is there some way to manually start/restart Freenet? (I assume that "start" means to connect to some nodes, but I'm not sure.)
