Hi, In my opinion a good bandwidth control system should be necessary. I read that at the moment it's not very accurate. I think that all people with low bandwidth can benefit from an accurate bandwidth control. I mean... think about new comers who want to give a try running Freenet... They keep the node up for some days... their MSN starts to disconnect every 5 minutes, surfing becomes slow and they often have to reload pages... even if they set their node's output bandwidth to a resonable value. I'm afraid they at last could give up and unistall freenet. I had those problems, but with the last 3-4 builds, it happens much less often, and I can't exclude that it could be my isp's fault (maybe throttling?) or something else, not Freenet. Anyway, an accurate bandwidth control cannot hurt.
