One additional thing to notice.. on the 'General Information' page you can see *what* in your machine that causes you to QR.. if a value is closing in at 100% your node will QR becuase of it.. if one of the time values goes above, say 0.5 seconds then *it* will cause your node to QR.
Most of the thresholds hinted of above can be affected by a parameter or another in the config file. /N ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Corson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of development issues" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 3:54 AM Subject: [freenet-dev] my 6281 node is surging the requests > Okay, this one took me 20 minutes to catch it happening - my node is > rejecting the majority of query requests.
