This is on the todo > list, but it does not seem urgent to me. Is it really a huge, monstrous, > evil, all-consuming problem more urgent than the 500 other things we have to > deal with? I see two issues. First, my node.db4o has broken 100MiB. That's not a problem, but eventually it would be. I can deal with this by emptying my download / upload queues, deleting it, and re-adding any keys, but that's annoying. It's not urgent, but an option to defrag at startup would be nice if it doesn't take too much of your time. Second issue is a minor security thing. I'm probably less paranoid than most Freenet users, but I would like to know that after I download a file, the traces left behind by doing so are well defined. That would include the file itself and the fact that its blocks are in my cache. I'd rather not also have that info in the node.db4o file (is it encrypted?). Again, not urgent, but worth dealing with eventually. The truly paranoid will have motion detectors that unmount their encrypted filesystems and start scrubbing RAM before the Bad Guys (TM) can sit down at the keyboard, right? Evan Daniel
[freenet-support] Wininstaller deployed
I have deployed the new wininstaller, for Vista/win7 users and anyone who clicks on "Windows instructions". Win2K/XP users with working JWS will still see the old installer for now. -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

[freenet-support] Please answer a quick survey on Freenet
What OS do you use for Freenet? Ubuntu Linux What is your output bandwidth limit set to? 50kb/ps What actual bandwidth usage do you typically get? 40kb/ps (not sure though) Protection against a stranger attacking you over the Internet: LOW Protection if your friends attack your anonymity: LOW Protection if your computer is seized or stolen: LOW Average time online: Sometimes I do not get online for weeks, other times I'm online every day but not more than a few hours a day.
