This is probably due to the recent Rate limiting facilites more than to
NGRouting.. Ratelimiting will cause RNFs when your node overloads it
neighbours with requests..

Well.. you could try increasing the size of the routing table maybe..

This probably is partly due to a bug or two..however.. there might also be
valid reasons for this behaviour..it is not impossible that your node
doesn't _have_ any more nodes to contact (your node might have reached its
request quota for all other nodes it knows about for instance etc.)

Yes.. information about other, new nodes are passed along within certain
freenet messages.

Yes, quite easy.. however.. the code isn't eceptionally well documented..
