Machine: W2K, on dial-up 56K
Java: Sun JRE 1.4.2

First, "node ping":
-------------------
I noticed a few days ago that there is a node in my RT that my node
(transient) kept connecting to without transferring anything. It seemed as
though a connection was made as often as every second, then dropped. All
connections were successful. Within minutes of starting my node the
connections raised to hundreds, then soon reached 1000, climbing steadily. 

This has persisted for the same node, and last night, when I further
upgraded to 6229, I noticed another node in my RT having similar stats, only
with much less connections. The approximate numbers I saw last night within
about half an hour, where:
- almost 2000 connections for the prime suspect
- almost 200 connections for the new suspect
- below 40 connections for any of the rest of the entries

Total data transfer that the OCM showed was about 500KiB-1MiB. I still have
a rough time getting some large(-ish) files that I have in fuqid's queue.
The activelinks in the front page still have some trouble loading, TFE
loads, I think YoYo loads. I have the impression that routing is slow (i.e.
very common files are found fast, by everything else takes a long time to
DNF/transfer, but most commonly DNF).


Second, "outgoing non-traffic":
-------------------------------
Meanwhile, all I've been doing was to open TFE, browse a couple of pages of
a couple of freesites, and continue said fuqid (latest v., btw) transfers.

Fuqid doesn't seem able to get ANYTHING unless it's in my store (which
screws it's stats, but seeing as I want that data, I don't want to purge it
from my store to have true freenet performance readings). I haven't been
able to verify this because I don't follow the splitfile stats closely, but
I think I would've noticed because I keep very close tabs to my traffic
graph and often browse the OCM page.

The weirdest though of all is that incoming traffic shown in my firewall
graph (Sygate Personal Firewall) was at an average of 300Kbits/sec but
outgoing was at 1Kbit/sec, even if the only software running was freenet
(i.e. when I shut down the node, the traffic ceased). All I can think for
the time being is that all this traffic (which is nothing important for
broadband, but about a 1/5th of total for 56K dial-up) is tcp-generated by
freenet trying for new connections to fill its connection pool.

Hope all this rambling helps.
