Re: [freenet-support] Freenet on FreeBSD
Quoting S [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have written a cronjob and some accompanying scripts, such that the cronjob runs once per minute, and ensures that Freenet is running, and if not, runs it, unless I had at some prior point manually run =2E/stop-freenet.sh, in which case the script realizes that I had intentionally stopped Freenet, and does not fire it up. I'm not sure if it's right for the job, I only discovered it the other day, but there's something called supervise in the daemontools package. It can be found here: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html It's in Gentoo's Portage, it's in ports, there's an RPM available. 'supervise' will run a program and restart it if it exits, until you stop it. I've not tried it. -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[freenet-support] Freenet causing crashes...
I just recently setup a node, and I'm trying to let it run for a while to give it a chance to spread its tendrils so to speak. I'm at the point now where it's had maybe 4-5 hours to run over my 3Mb cable connection and I'm STARTING to get a little responsiveness from the network. Problem is, I want to leave it running for several hours to fully propagate itself, whatever, but it seems to be gobbling up a LOT of CPU power. Well, not the Freenet executable, but the java engine running it. That by itself wouldn't be a problem, but it seems to be making my computer crash. After leaving it running for 15 minutes or so, my computer will spontaneously crash/shut-down. I tried setting the CPU priority in the config tool to be below normal, I tried setting the process priority in Task Manager to be below normal for both the javaw.exe and freenet.exe processes, but it's still devouring over 90% of my CPU on average, and it's still crashing my system after 10-15 minutes. This really sucks, because it was just around NOW that things were starting to get interesting. The system I'm running it on is: Windows XP Pro, SP2 Athlon XP 1800+ 768 RAM 3Mb cable internet connection Windows Binary 5091 version of the Node Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04 Can anybody help explain what's going on here and how I might fix it? I just recently installed SP 2 for XP, and I know that has a 10-connection limit for half-open TCPIP connections, and in the Freenet config utility, it says 200 connections, so I was thinking maybe that might have something to do with it. I actually changed that bit of my Windows configuration, as 10 is too low. The TCPIP stack I'm running now allows 50 half-open connections. That may still be too low, though, depending on just how Freenet's using TCPIP. So, is there anybody that knows anything about running a node on a SP2 version of WinXP Pro? Also, any advice for configuring things for optimum performance? I really have no idea how the Freenet network works under the hood, so I really don't have a clue how to tune things properly. Any good n00b resources available that I could look at? Any help appreciated. I love the Freenet concept, but it's still a little tech-heavy for me to grasp at this stage.

RE: [freenet-support] Freenet causing crashes...
Well, the heat thing is the obvious answer, but I don't think that's it. My CPU temp never goes above 50 degrees celsius, which should be well within acceptable tolerances. Plus, I have my case open and a FULL-SIZE, like cool your whole house sized, fan blowing right into the case. I used to have heat problems, but none since I put that fan in there. Just to be on the safe-side, I just underclocked my CPU on the MB a few cycles, so we'll see if that helps stability. And yeah, typically 15-20 minutes. And when I say crash, I mean the whole system powers down. Goes to a black screen, my monitor shuts down, etc... I don't think it's the CPU usage doing it necessarily, cuz I often run video-editing software set to high priority that runs it at near 100% all day long without issue. I just mention the CPU usage because I wasn't sure if that was normal or not. My uplink speed is only 256K. (No premiere service available in my neighborhood yet) Memory in the Flaunch.ini was set to default. I changed it to 256M, so we'll see what happens. I'll also upgrade my Java too. Thought I was already up to date there, but I guess not. Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I appreciate it. Anybody else here have any trouble with Freenet running on XP SP2? I know SP2 is still a bit new to most people, and it's a HUGE service pack, weighing in at over 260M, and it screws with hundreds of system files, so I'd like to be able to rule that out definitively if anybody here is using SP2 with Freenet without incident. There have been reports of it messing with other pieces of software, so I naturally assumed this might be a likely suspect.

[freenet-support] Problems with Freenet: from a windows perspective.
I recently installed a new node from scratch on a Windows XP SP2 box, and here are my observations. While there's lots of talk about SP2 limiting TCP connections, I haven't see any real issues with it. On the negative side, freenet-java-webinstall.exe is configured to install Sun JRE 1.4.1, when I believe it should install 1.4.2. After 5 hours of uptime I only have 72 open connections. This was a problem I experienced on my linux based node too; either the seednodes.ref file is inadequate (weighing in at 26mB!) or Freenet 5091 isn't aggressive enough about meeting maxNodeConnections. I would also like to point out that I'm currently only using ~50% of my upstream bandwidth, based on frequent observation of the General Information page. Perhaps Freenet should be more apt to take advantage of newbie nodes? If there's any other information that would be of assistance, please let me know. --mikeDOTd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
