That is simply not true, and you know it. Remember the DataStoreBug? Freenet has never worked _really_ well, of course, which is why we need to continue to develop it, but the DSB dominated network performance for around a year. The network was still usable, but it was pretty bad, and we lost a lot of users due to it. > > The truth is, I *do* annoy people, and I'm well aware of that, but mostly I concur!

Well, indeed, if you have T1 line or something like the other > poster said. But normal users often have a different impression, and even No, the other poster talked about it working okay on DSL. It works okay for me on cable too, although I _am_ a seednodes source, which may have some influence on my position in the network. > when noobs come tell it on the maillist themselves, it is still being > refuted by some coders.

You did not tell us how many connections you had at the time, despite being asked. But the timeouts were likely caused by FIW being impatient. And we have a lot of feedback saying that inserts DO work better. CofE hasn't updated his site, but he does say on TFE that it is "working out well for me". > > And as for never bringing any alternatives...yeah, right.

Sometimes you also make constructive suggestions. Sometimes you make suggestions that you see as constructive that are in fact simply trolling, such as the idea that we abandon most of the codebase in favour of I2P, made worse by the fact that jrand0m has told me that i2p is not ready for freenet's scale yet (during a discussion on premix routing), a point I have made to you on at least one occasion. > directions that have been taken.

You cannot have an @freenetproject.org account because you cannot be trusted not to use it for canvassing for funding FOR OTHER PROJECTS.
