However, I have always found that the seed nodes provided by hawk gave a node enough of a hint to get going after 6 to 12 hours. The original poster was worried that the seed nodes included a lot using old builds, but then we know that is a feature of Freenet. It might have worked better if he left the node running longer. Perhaps new users should be encouraged to delete seednodes.ref if they use the update script when they have a good working node, because I have always found (perhaps contrary to design behaviour) that nodes lose routing when restarted with a fresh set of seed nodes less "good" than the ones already in the routing table. -- Roger Hayter
