That's OK, as long as the newbie knows what to expect. I think the site says something about "a few hours", which hasn't quite been my experience... Oh, and the default size of the data store should be increased. A lot. >Heh. That's called an RNF. It stands for "Route Not Found".

And of course, the overall network performance is a lot lower than >it ought to be. It's not only performance. For example, the prominently featured "Freenet Help Index" links to an old version of Frost, which is why I couldn't get it to work first. >Possibly.

You have a point there... Thanks for your answers, all in all I'm happy now with the performance of Freenet, I've given it 6GB to store data and it already uses 1.5GB. _______________________________________________ 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]
