i suppose the heavy cpu usage arises because the node tries to contact all nodes it knows. this of course won't work as it is not connected to the internet. a solution would be to delete the routing table so it doesn't even know of other nodes and it cannot try to contact them which will result in a nice, fast booting and completely isolated local node for your tests:
- stop the freenet node - cd into the freenet directory - delete the files: ls* ngrt* rt* seednodes.ref - start the node HTH if you want to re-integrate the node again download the seednodes.ref (or the .bz'ed version) from http://freenetprogect.org/snapshots/ dunno, but it might be necessary to delete ls* rt* ngrt* again for the node to reseed itself. then again maybe it will reseed automatically from the seednodes file if it has too few noderefs. PS: why OS/2 runs so much smoother is still a miracle... could be because OS/2's network subroutines are better programmed than the ones in windoze or because the node bugs on OS/2 and does not try to connect the known nodes or some other reason >Hello, > >I have two computers.
