[freenet-support] insecure mode and port forwarding

2008-04-25 Thread Jim Cook
As far as I know, I don't know anyone running Freenet, so I'm running in insecure/promiscuous mode. Freenet kindly warns me that others can therefore identify my node and attack it. However, although I've read the FAQ and googled some, I'm not clear what sorts of attacks are possible, other t

[freenet-support] CPU at 100 %, frequent restarts needed

Some time ago, I had to restart my node once every two weeks or so, because its CPU consumption would grow over time -- and after reaching 90 % or more rendering the computer useless. However, lately these things occur very often. The node starts consuming more and more CPU resources, pushing it to

Thank you, Volodya (and Matthew).  What actually happened was that Freenet created a new Firefox profile, with (to me, at least) a very strange set of color and menu preferences (e.g., no Tools), and then Firefox saved that as the new default.  I was tired at the time, and distracted by the fact

Freenet 0.7 build 1144 is now available. Please upgrade. Please let me know if auto-update doesn't work for you. This build will be mandatory on Monday, and the main change is a couple of major bugfixes to the load limiting code which will hopefully result in nodes accepting fewer SSKs and more

I just installed Freenet 0.7, and it seems to have replaced Firefox 2 with Firefox 1. I suspect that, if I reinstall Firefox 2, I may screw up Freenet. Is that so? And if it's so, is there a workaround (other than running Freenet in a virtual machine)? Also, what's up with Google Toolbar? I
