Well, I just checked -- all the 80 connections that were opened a week ago are still open and still in CLOSE_WAIT. What does "until they complete" mean? Also, if I kept my wget spider running, it could easily use 213 or over, like it did when I first reported the problem, and eventually not let me back into fproxy :s. How does that fit into the 100 request limit?

Huh? I meant, (I'm guessing), didn't my wget already send a "FIN" tcp message to fproxy at some point, which is what put those connections into CLOSE-WAIT? (a la http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_TCPConnectionTermination-2.htm ), or am I missing something? _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
