Unfortunately it's normal in freenet 0.5 for new nodes to have considerable difficulty accessing content. Given time, ideally leaving your node up as close to constantly as possible, it will integrate into the network and perform better. You should see a noticeable improvement after a day or so. > It then says to "reseed the node". I don't understand that. To "reseed" means to download a new seednodes.ref, which contains addresses of other nodes collected from the network. The easiest way to do this in windows is to run "Update Snapshot" from the start menu or (iirc) by right-clicking the systray bunny. However, unless you only run your node occassionally - in which case you can't expect it to perform well anyway - reseeding probably isn't neccessary. > As a last resort it says to contact you. 0.5 has acknowledged problems, primarily less than optimal specialisation/routing and the fact the network is open and therefore harvestable (possible to build a list of who runs nodes). Development is currently underway on 0.7 which is pretty much a rewrite, and hopefully will make progress toward addressing these.
