Jep :
... must at mine be read as
'Freenet is *not* connecting to the network no matter what- this may
take forever and a day.'
As long as I'm using FN, which is nearly a year;
my working scheme when updating, rebooting the system or for some other
reason having to restart Freenet looks like this:
1 Just try it - this almost never works. Okay okay, say 3 out of 4 times
it doesn't.
2 delete nodedb4o and try it
3 delete nodedb4o and everything with the port numbers in its name and
try it
4 put the datastore folder and freenet.ini aside, uninstall Freenet and
reinstall, put the stuff back and try it
More often than not, only after step 4 it finally finds its stranger
peers. But today again, nothing and nothing helps so Freenet is dead and
I am, again, out of options.
What I see happening is that when starting FN, for some 45 seconds, some
seednodes are found and connected to.
Then those connections drop and are never built up again.
After that, the wrapper log only adds, line after line: 'Trying to
connect to some seednodes...' and nothing else happens.
XP, plenty of RAM and HD space, java up to date, ports fwd'd in the router.
Once FN does connect, it stays that way. That is, apart from the backoff
problem that seems to get worse.
If there is any tip, short of giving up on Freenet, please let me know.
Thanks for your reply.
A question asked earlier, to which I have not seen an answer:
Can I conclude the Freenet wrapper no longer runs as a service, meaning
that the FN service can be removed?
And yet another.
Matthew, you asked for a big log some time ago, and I sent it. And I
have not seen any conclusion of it other than that you hoped a new FN
build would solve my connection problems. Which was a little bit true,
but only a very little bit.
It connected finally then, but it still stays hell if if I need to
restart FN.
1335 somehow connected to strangers once more, after being off FN for
more than a day.
But, there's a new build already, mandatory on Friday, and I am for
obvious reason not very keen to update.
The backoff problem seems to have gone worse than ever, currently 8
connected and 32 backoffs. Maybe all will backoff today and not come
back, and I will have to try to connect anyway...
Very nice, those plans for .8 but am I asking too much if I solely want
FN to work?
