So it looks normal since thats what I'm set to. The only weird
Having reached the maximum connection limit, it should generally kill old connections rather than rejecting new ones. It would only reject new ones if it was REALLY overloaded, which has very little to do with the number of connections open. > thing is that alot of hosts are connecting numerous times to me.

Alot of them have idle times almost No. Intentionally. Because the cost of opening a new connection is HUGE, it drastically slows down routing. We want to keep as many connections open as possible for this reason. Unfortunately, since we have not yet implemented connection multiplexing, every time we need to send data to a node, if we are already sending to it on all open connections, we have to open a new connection. > matching their lifetimes.

It's possible there is a bug causing it to not route data over existing connections... > > Dave -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
