I've got a clean install of 561 that has been running for 20 hours.  I set
the announce delay to 3000 to speed things up, and have downloaded a bunch
of stuff.  I haven't done any deliberate key insertions, but I think my FEC
download may have inserted missing blocks.  I have 50 node references and
the "client" side of Freenet seems to be up and working well.

My node has announcedTo Events=9, Value Change=20 (for the day).  I have a
lot of log entries like "Announcement failed to a292 2a5a a443 18ea 6666
b287 4f78 80bb 1642 050e at depth 2."  And I have 49 incoming key requests.

Question:  What causes announcements to fail?

In loadStats, I have 28 entries and globalRequestsPerHour: 3881.625

My concern is that when 0.5.1 launches there will be a LOT of nodes exactly
like mine leeching from the network and bringing the big Freenet nodes to
their knees.  It's possible (and I'd say hard to tell) that the network just
"doesn't need" my node at this point, or maybe it's deliberate that nodes
are integrated this slowly.

I'm using the node reference list the windows web installer defaults to.
This seems like a key risk point for the release.  If it's getting the same
50 nodes for every new user, those 50 are going to be hurting.

Question:  Is there anything that needs to be done to "spread the network
out" during (or before) launch?
