Or send them a short node2node message...

Yes I am referring to 0.7. No feature work will be done for 0.5.

That's not very encouraging. Perhaps there should be some flag
available to let other nodes know that one of them is just
"temporarily unavailable". Or maybe an option for a "3rd party" server
where the traffic requests would be rerouted - and the "temporarily
unavailable" answer given out (the "3rd party" router probably being
another (web?) server to which the DynDNS would point for a while).

BTW, what do you guys mean by "people drop nodes" and "people can

You could always change your nodename to "I'll be back" or something before
you leave, then people connected at that time can see that you are just away
temporarily. That's what I was planning to do.

That's not very encouraging. Perhaps there should be some flag
available to let other nodes know that one of them is just
temporarily unavailable. Or maybe an option for a 3rd party server
where the traffic requests would be rerouted - and the temporarily
unavailable answer given out (the 3rd party router probably being
another (web?) server to which the DynDNS would point for a while).

BTW, what do you guys mean by people drop nodes and people can
see? I thought the _system_ was automatically selecting the nodes? Or
are you referring to 0.7 only?

A lot of people drop nodes which have been idle for a while, on the
assumption that they were newbies who have uninstalled. So yes, it
probably would lose many of its connections.

[freenet-support] Switching it off for a while

[Level 13]

I was wondering, what are the possible consequences if one switches
their Freenet node off for a while (say when going on vacation etc.)?
I mean, is there a minimum limit as to when a node is considered
"dead"? So if it comes back online in e.g. 1 month, will it be a whole
new "discovery" for it, or will it continue operating from where it
was before?

their Freenet node off for a while (say when going on vacation etc.)?
I mean, is there a minimum limit as to when a node is considered
dead? So if it comes back online in e.g. 1 month, will it be a whole
new discovery for it, or will it continue operating from where it
was before?
