Hmmm. Your computer has inadequate cooling, most likely. Not our problem :). No obvious ideas for a workaround... except perhaps enabling doCPULoad=true in the config file (you're on linux, right? :)). > > I tried setting the CPU priority in the config tool to be below normal, > I tried setting the process priority in Task Manager to be below normal Hmm, you're not on linux.

Your system's expected lifetime is pretty low if it crashes in 15 minutes of 90% CPU usage. Are you sure you don't have major issues with inadequate cooling? > > The system I'm running it on is: > > Windows XP Pro, SP2 > Athlon XP 1800+ > 768 RAM > 3Mb cable internet connection The downlink doesn't matter much.

In any case it'll just queue them; it shouldn't cause a crash.

That may still be too low, though, depending > on just how Freenet's using TCPIP. Freenet uses 200 OPEN conns, it only opens 50 or so at once - so there will not generally be more than 50 half-open conns. > > So, is there anybody that knows anything about running a node on a SP2 > version of WinXP Pro?
