My node isn't running too well either, even after leaving it on for a few days. Did you leave it running while properly opening up the port it uses for incoming connections in your firewall (if needed)? > I was planning to make a permanent node, but I don't run it much > anymore, because my brother games (so he needs high bandwidth and low > latency), and Freenet is still the most costly service I run on that > thing (in terms of CPU, bandwidth, etc.) I have an 2.5G Athlon XP w/ 1G of RAM and I don't notice that it's running. It tends to play nice on my system regardless of my success in getting any data out of it. > I know it's been mentioned before, but I'll state for the record that I > think Java was a bad choice.

A discussion based on backing out of Java at this point is totally pointless and would set the project back another X years. I'm not sure my archives even go back that far, but the basis for choosing Java should be obvious; platform independence and a rich API that comes standard with the language. > For the record, I have never, ever seen a java program load quickly, run > even tolerably fast for anything beyond the most basic things, and I've > never seen an open source implementation of Java work firsthand.

I would argue that Java has found a nice home in the Web Services market (JSP, Servlets, EJB), but Freenet attempts to be all things that Java isn't necessarily good at (for starters, NIO is something not necessary for most web apps). All this aside, when routing doesn't work in Freenet it can't be blamed on the language it was implemented in. Broken routing can easily be coded in C, Python, assembler or whatever language you desire. On the other hand being tied to a proprietary language like Java under Sun's control isn't helping matters much. It's hoped this will change when one of the Free Software implementations of Java (gcj, Kaffe) becomes more stable wrt Freenet. -- Jay Oliveri GnuPG ID: 0x5AA5DD54 FCPTools Maintainer www.sf.net/users/joliveri _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
