Do you (anyone, everyone, especially on windows with low end hardware) get good performance with queued downloads on 1214 now? Can I close the bug concerning this thread?

(#3075) I don't have low-end hardware, but my Windows node gets excellent performance now, thank you! =) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Use GnuPG with Firefox : http://getfiregpg.org (Version: 0.7.5) iEYEARECAAYFAkopjd4ACgkQ4esu1mlKOs9jggCffyjjlNw/MBZOlDKKGeD+45uE rSMAnROPiAZTiJFQx5Z8RxcG1YQtOIca =ZQ0I -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
[freenet-support] Build 1215, countdown to 0.7.5
Freenet 0.7 build 1215 is now available. Changes include: - Hopefully fix a bug causing Freenet to not reconnect after losing the internet connection and then it being restored. - Various improvements to the web interface, including a Chat Forums toadlet explaining where to get FMS and Frost, this goes away when Freetalk is loaded. - Some client layer fixes including a bug causing some requests to stall at 100%. - Require the new fixed version of Freemail (which now has a proper version). We should release 0.7.5 soon. Developers, please refrain from committing new features to master. Translators, we need updates for the new strings in 1215 and for all of the untranslated strings in your various languages. Users please test 1215! If there are any serious bugs in it we need to know. Anyone who can run a seednode (you need a static IP address, port forwarded, and a reasonable upstream) please turn on the seednode option in opennet config (in advanced mode), and send me your opennet noderef (strangers page, advanced mode). Nextgens has argued that we need to migrate to the new infrastructure before releasing, so that we know it can stand a slashdotting. The essentials are: - Move the downloads to google's file releases system. - Move the static content on the website to a Google App Engine app. - Move the SSL redirects to the same app, and update the update scripts. - Think very seriously about moving the bug tracker. IMHO we need to keep the existing data either by importing it or as a static pull (but only as a last resort). And we need to decide what bug tracker to use. But it is not *essential* to move the bug tracker before releasing. The main concern is that we might have to buy hosting for mantis if importing the bugs to some free bug tracker hosting is not possible. Nextgens has started work on the second item, I hope that these can be completed soon. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

The current one has some problems. You should try to stay anonymous if possible.
