Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED],
first of all I want to thank the developers of freenet
and freenet related tools for their work. It is a
needed tool these days.
However, I have been using freenet for some time -
also before next generation routing started. My
general experience is that the performance has gone
worse:
1) After starting a new node version or not having it
online for a while the node sometimes fails to
establish a stable freenet connection. I fix this by
deleting all rouing files (*_a und *_b in the freenet
directoy) and downloading a new seednodes.ref file.
However, this does not always work on the first
attempt.
2) Even after having the node up for a wile and(!)
successfully downloading content, the node more often
fails to route the request to other nodes than before
NG-routing. Wihtout NG routing I was able to have
request returned with 25 HTL with a "data not found"
error - a clear indication that the data was not there
for sure. With NG routing I am having trouble to get a
data-not found message at all, most of the errors I
only get "route not found" with 1 or 2 nodes or even 0
being contacted.
Now to my questions:
a) is there a way to make my freenet node try to
contact NEW nodes more often? For example by more
aggressivle cleaning up the routing table?
b) How can I tweak routing that my node (AFTER
successfully receiving data!) does no longer think, it
does no know where to deliver the requests to?
c) Why does my node deliver "route not found" errors
with onlny a few (<< 5) other nodes it tried to
contact? How can I make it contact more nodes? (> 20)
d) Do nodes tell each other about the nodes they know?
e) is it easy to get involved in the freenet
development?
Since I am a software engeneer my own I have the
impression that the ideas behind NG routing are
reasonable, but the algorithm itself is not stable,
yet. Esp in the special case of starting a node or
having one that it not permanently online. I came to
that conclusion because I have been reading the
support-archive and was surprised, that some people
even with NG-routing seem to have good performance (as
I experienced it without NG routing).
Thanks for any answers!
Uli
