Re: [freenet-support] Help, please.

2004-01-01 Thread benny
I have just started a new node on my SuSE box without any problems.

1) Download tarball.
2) gunzip/tar -vxf
3) cd freenet
4) ./preconfig.sh
5) edit freenet.conf (add ipAddress, and storeSize)
6) forward the freenet listen port on my NAT box
7) ./update.sh
8) ftp over a seed nodes file from another machine
9) ./start-freenet.sh

Note:  If you're not running behind a NAT box or firewall, you can skip step 6.  You 
can most likely skip step 5 too, unless you want a larger datastore (which you should 
do, I use storeSize=4096M).  Last I heard there was some issues with default 
seednodes, so step 8 may be the key with a new install at the moment.  I don't know of 
a graceful way to getting a fresh seednodes file at the moment tho.

Re: Re: [freenet-support] How to update on a Windows machine??

2004-01-01 Thread benny
That just re-runs the webinstall program, which gives me an error about overwriting 
the webinstall file, or something like that.  I had tried that before, but always 
stopped at the error.  The prompts were also for "Install" instead of "Update".  I 
just pressed Ignore this time, and it seemed to update the .jar file just fine.  My 
datastore seems to still be intact.  I was worried it would do a real install as the 
prompts were indicating, and wipe out my node's existing data.

Maybe something got botched on my original install that screwed up the update process, 
but it's not very graceful on my machine.  It seemed to work, tho.

Thanks!

[freenet-support] How to update on a Windows machine??

2004-01-01 Thread benny
Things don't seem to be as straight forward on a windows machine.  For linux update, I 
just ran update.sh.  What the heck to do I do to update on a windows machine?  Sorry 
for the dumb question, but I can't find any simple documentation or user's guides 
either.

Re: [freenet-support] Geographical distribution of Freenet

Yeah.. wonder if the RIAA or LEA's have any freenet farms for connection analysis.. 
think they'd register??  Hey! they may already have some good stats.  Think they'd 
share?  hehe..

Is anything known about Freenet’s geographical
distribution? Like, are there more nodes in the US than in Europe? What
country has the highest number of nodes? How large is Freenet actually? In Tbytes
as well as number of nodes. Stuff like that.

 

In this context I have a suggestion to the maintainer of the
WEB-site. Why not include some sort of “voluntary registration” on
the site where people can – if they want -  give a few details about
their system. Like where in the world they are located, type of connection
(permanent or transient), size of storage, time since first install, version
running. Nothing to compromise anonymity – just an option for the
developers to gauge their success and make a few statistics.

[freenet-support] how do I turn this dern thing off

2003-12-25 Thread benny
I've been running Freenet on my linux box for quite a while, with no problems.  I 
decided to try it out on my window's machine.  All was going well, and working fine, 
until I went to stop it.  With Linux I was able to execute stop-freenet.sh, but I 
couldn't figure out how to gracefully kill it on my window's box?!?  Am I just a 
moron?  Did I miss something?

[freenet-support] huge storeSize/key expiration

2003-12-13 Thread benny
I've got a nice new machine that I built, and I'm willing to share it with 
freenet.  I set my storeSize to 10G, but I've noticed that freenet seems to 
automatically delete data from time to time.  I'm not a freenet expert and I 
don't completely understand it's architecture, but I'm wondering why it's 
deleting data when it's nowhere near the size I've alocated for the store.  I 
guess I'm just asking how can I best get my node to utilized the resources 
I'm giving it.

[freenet-support] multiple nodes inside a NAT network??

2003-12-10 Thread benny
Just curious as to the logistics of multiple nodes behind a NAT'ed firewall.  I can 
have each of them have different listen ports and forward the ports to the correct 
node, but what will nodes outside the network think of multiple nodes to the same IP?  
Will the nodes in the network learn to talk to each other dirrectly?  Will there be 
any proformance impact?

Thanks!
