[freenet-support] Countdown to 0.7.0

[vinyl1]

I think the lack of a reliable messaging system is really going to impact
interest in Freenet.   Unfortunately, FMS is not easily usable by ordinary
end users, and it is not packaged with the core software.

I don't know what to do about this problem, other than figure out some way
to get Frost working again.   This is really too bad, because the core
functionality of Freenet seems to be improving.   All the popular sites load
very quickly, it is almost getting to be like the regular internet.

[freenet-support] 1143 seems to have a few problems

[vinyl1]

It seems that memory use is up, and so is the number of peers backed off.   
Maybe peers are experiencing memory issues?

I have cut my output bandwith in an attempt to mitigate the problem.

[freenet-support] Can't bind fproxy to LAN IP

[vinyl1]

I am trying to set up my node so a client on a separate machine on my LAN can 
browse Freenet through FProxy.

I was able to do this with FCP by changing the 'IP address to bind to' from:

127.0.0.1,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1

to 

192.168.1.103,127.0.0.1,0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1

However, when I make the same change to FProxy, I get an error message: "Your 
configuration changes were applied with the following exceptions: bindTo Could 
not change FProxy bind address: Protocol family not supported."

But when I enter 'netstat -an' in a command window, I see:

 TCP127.0.0.1: 0.0.0.0:0  LISTENING
 TCP127.0.0.1: 0.0.0.0:0  LISTENING
 TCP127.0.0.1: 127.0.0.1:3158 ESTABLISHED
 TCP127.0.0.1: 127.0.0.1:3159 ESTABLISHED

 TCP192.168.1.103: 0.0.0.0:0  LISTENING

However, I cannot in fact connect to FProxy either through the 127.0.0.1 
loopback or the 192.168.1.103 LAN address.   They seem to make a connection, 
but the node no longer returns data to the browser:

 TCP192.168.1.103: 0.0.0.0:0  LISTENING
 TCP192.168.1.103: 192.168.1.103:3160 ESTABLISHED

Since I have lost my interface, I have no choice but to restart Freenet by 
rebooting.   When I do that, everything returns to the way it was.

Is this a bug or a user error?

[freenet-support] (new) user feedback

[vinyl1]

When you use Freenet .7, you are testing an alpha, and an early alpha at
that.

They have not yet coded the promised opennet and onion premix routing, but
are concentrating on getting the Darknet to work.

If you want something that is usable and stable, and would prefer not to be
part of a software development team, Freenet .5 still works.

Or you can just hang around until the development team completes the
product.

bad points:
-node management is really manual, i mean it's a pain-in-the-glass to
connect IRC, exchange then exchange,
exchange,exchange,exchange,exchange,exchange,... that's not great.
even using the refbot.py is heavy (my point of view)

[freenet-support] Which is the latest 0.5 version; Which Java VM

[vinyl1]

Yes, 5107 was the final release in the .5 version of Freenet.

I don't see any reason to update the Java release if your .5 server is
working OK.  A later release should be backward-compatible, but might cause
trouble.

 How can I tell if I have the latest version of 0.5 branch installed?
 The information I get in the web interface is as follows:

 Node Version 0.5
 Protocol Version STABLE-1.51
 Build Number 5107
 CVS Revision 1.90.2.50.2.134


 How about the version of JVM? I'm currently using 1.4.2_10-b03 and I
 know it's far from being the latest. Should I update it? If so, will
 my 0.5 still work on an updated environment?

 However, I'm a little confused as per which thing to download at
 http://java.sun.com/
 I haven't been around there for a while and there's been some
 redecorating going on. ;)
 Or do I just download the Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 10
from

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it the
node announcing and accumulation of known nodes in the the routing table
WILL be a feature of the .7 opennet when it becomes available.  Right now
only the darknet is being tested.

Again, according to my limited understanding, the purpose of the darknet
will be to allow people who don't want to be known to be running a node to
hook up to the general Freenet.  When the opennet is available, someone who
wishes to remain hidden will start darknode net and hook up to some guys on
the opennet whom he trusts.  He will then be connected, but no one will know
he is.  His node will get the advantage of the routing tables of his opennet
buddies.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong!  I get all my info from anonymous guys on
Frost

[freenet-support] Freenet .5 messes up my internet connection

[vinyl1]

Joseph Terranova said:

"Linksys routers have a nasty flaw: they keep track of all connections for 
days. So if you're using something that has a lot of connections, such as p2p 
or freenet, it bonks fairly quickly. You might want to try looking for an 
alternative open-source firmware for it that fixes the problem. 

Well, that certainly doesn't sound good.  But while I'm a fan of open-source, I 
think mixing it with old hardware might lead to even more difficulties.

I'd rather look into D-Link,  Netgear and Belkin.  What is everyone using?  
What model works well with Freenet in a home environment?

[freenet-support] Freenet .5 messes up my internet connection

[vinyl1]

I am trying to find a way to get .5 to work properly before trying .7.  

My home network has 4 machines, using Suse Linux 10 and Windows 2K.  I have 
installed Freenet .5 on a Win2K machine.

I am able to access the internet from the other machines at the time I start 
Freenet.  However, after Freenet runs for a few hours, the other machines lose 
connectivity.  On the Freenet machine, I have about 50-100 connections.  When I 
stop Freenet, the other machines usually don't work at all, or only work with a 
few IPs.  When I turn off the Freenet machine and reboot the others, they don't 
DHCP properly and don't get a valid subnet address.  

My connection is a cable modem into an old Linksys router, a 4-port befsr41 
from the year 2000.  

The only solution is to unplug the cable modem from the router, turn the router 
off, wait for the cable modem to reset itself,  and then restart everything.

I seem to recall something about this from previous discussions - some routers 
can't handle that many connections - so I think the router is at fault.   I 
couldn't find anything searching through archived posts; is anyone familiar 
with this problem?  Would a more modern router be the cure?  Some guy at work 
gave me this one three years ago because it was obsolete, but it had performed 
OK until it encountered Freenet.

[freenet-support] Running a node again

[vinyl1]

For a long time, I didn't run a node for lack of a suitable machine and 
bandwidth.  I recently picked up an old P4 1.8 Optiplex with 256M, which is had 
intended to use for something else, but when that fell through I decided to 
play around with Freenet on it.

I wanted to redo what I had done before to see if it still worked and review 
Freenet basicst, so I installed a small partition of Win2K, downloaded Freenet 
5106 and the latest Frost, and installed.  The help files are still hit or 
miss, and the Wiki is only for .7, so I just did a hack install and got the 
thing going.  Messages are appearing in Frost, so I'm going to give it the 
24-hour breakin run and make sure it works properly before going on.

It does take all 256 meg of memory and uses 100% of the CPU, but since I spent 
$117 to purchase a dedicated Freenet server, I don't care.

Here are my questions:

1.  The default datastore is on the C; partition and is only 512 meg.  How do I 
move it to another partition and give it more room?  Can I change that only, or 
do I have to move everything?

2.  If I can't retrieve a lot of content after 24 hours of Frost board 
refreshing, is that me or is that because Freenet users are shutting down the 
.5 nodes in favor of .7?

3.  The new version of Frost works with .5 and .7, and you can move your board 
files from .5 to .7.  Does this mean the boards on .7 will have the same names 
and work with the same keys?

I'm sure I'll have more questoins when I put up a partition of Linux and 
attempt to get .7 running.  That ought to be funI won't know if it's my 
pitiful skillset as a Linux SA or the new software acting up.

Freenet is a complex thing to get working, and everything has to be just right

old, frozen network using build 5106 continues to run, the developers and alpha 
testers have moved on the next major release.

Matthew's advice that you have to let it learn the network and build up its 
routing tables is true, but your description sounds like you don't have any 
conections at all.   If your Freenet datastore is empty, this is most likely 
the case, because as soon as you start it up the datastore starts filling, 
although very slowly at first.  

Since the usual firewall/proxy problems are ruled out,  you should look at the 
two other usual problems:

1.  Obsolete or corrupted seednodes file.
2.  Your build is too old to join the network.  You should have 5106.

I haven't run it for myself some time, but I do read all the list messages and  
the factors Matthew and I have mentioned account for most of the problems new 
users encounter.  

BTW, I'll probably rejoin fairly soon, if I can dig up a suitable 
machine--right now everything is in use.  I'm  curious to see how .7 will run.

Re: [freenet-support] MIRC?

[vinyl1]

Matthew explained:

People are running Freenet on port 6667.

But I can see why MapsBaps might be alarmed.  The first thing hackers would do 
if they managed to infiltrate the codebase would be to have all the nodes 
report back to them, and IRC is what they usually use.

But the mere opinion of a NAT is a poor basis for supposing this might have 
happened.  After all, Windows is always saying that part 386 of a download is a 
virtual device driver.   You'd be much better off  using the usual open-source 
code security checks if you suspect something strange is going on.

Re: [freenet-support] Node transient setting problem

I think they got rid of transient nodes quite a while back, maybe about a year ago.

Even then, you had to edit your configuration file manually.You can still do that, but it won't have any effect.-Original Message- I have a dial-up connection to the internet and I read that would be good for the FreeNet to set from "Node Availability" to "Node is transient".My current setting is "Node Availability",and I can't check the "Node is transient" because these are disabled in "Normal Settings" tab.I tried to check the "Allow Changes to Node Address,Port and Availability" from "Serious GeeKs Only" tab and when I restart the node,it doesn't take effect.How I can do this,to set to "Node is transient"?

Toad remarked:

Freenet is DESIGNED to actively thwart attempts to find the authors.
This is a fundamental design goal. It is a motive. Whereas the postal
system simply doesn't care one way or the other. In fact, right now,
Freenet is so slow that only perverts and geeks use it. Or so it would
be argued.

This is why the government, and for that matter Hollywood, doesn't give a rat's 
patotsie right now.  Until we get it to work reasonably well, it is little threat in 
the overall scheme of things.

They'll only start to worry when millions of people are actively using it.  By then it 
will be too late...they could shut down SourceForge and exile Ian to Tierra del  Fuego 
and it wouldn't make any difference, because of the robust and decentralized design of 
the network.

In the meantime, even the perverts are getting a little tired of typing in parameters, 
downloading new versions, and rebooting their Unix machines

Toad [EMAIL PROTECTED]  replied:

 For me it seems as Fred is too fail-fast. It may try for a few more
 seconds or minutes instead of returning the RNF nearly immediately
 (and very often). Putting that retry to the user's side (being it the
 browser or a FCP app) is no good idea IMHO.

Maybe so. But maybe the problem is more fundamental.


I suspect this is the case.  The RNF is coming back much too quickly for the network 
to have been searched to the limit, unless everyone running FN has miraculously 
converted to a T3.

As an experiment, I cut and pasted some not-found keys into FUQID.  Its log file says 
that it is trying 25 HTL, 30 HTL, and 35 HTL, and not finding anything, but it seems 
to be working much too quickly.

Hi all! Here there is a part of my freenet.log. I selected this casually: all the log 
file is filled up with 
similar parts (hudreds and hundreds). 
I looked to the log because freenet is completely unable to find any content. The web 
i. starts without 
loading any image. Also frost is unable to interact with the net.
Obviously, internet is working properly. 
I'm a transient node. Some time ago i was static, but I migrated to transient. When I 
was static, freenet and
frost were working (very very very slowly). Now it is the silence.
HI!
thanks!

Re: [freenet-support] Fuqid - Broken in latest builds

Could you elaborate a little on your exact problem?  What error messages are you 
getting?

Subject: [freenet-support] Fuqid - Broken in latest builds

Build: 5074 (or 5075, nobody is too sure)
Fuqid appears unable to talk to the node in any meaningful way.
It has no trouble requesting but those requests appear to fall on deaf ears.

Did I read somewhere that this was to be expected in new builds?

Re: [freenet-support] Re: slowdom in freeville

[vinyl1]

I have a similar machine with Win2K and dialup, and can't get anywhere.

I'm not surprised that I can't retrieve much freesite content, although
surprisingly I can get a fair number of Frost messages.

What baffled me is that I was unable to insert a small (1.9 meg) file with
FUQID.  After configuring so that FUQID connects to my client port
correctly, it goes ahead and opens ten threads, but all the insert attempts
with them fail and they keep retrying and failing again.  I used to be able
to insert easily, and I have retrieved 30 meg files running overnight.

I'll try with some new seed nodes.  The obvious thing to do is get a more
modern machine and broadband.

 Yup you are right. Freenet is working better than ever right now.
 I have a poor 56k connection. I run a transient node on a machine
 of 650Mhz and windows xp...stable and unstable both fred versions.
 I am downloading files all the time. For example I downloaded two 14GB
 files that were inserted months ago successfully and very fastjust in
a couple
 of  hours. Most of the free-sites are accesible. Unstable works better
than
 stable though. But yup freenet is evolving and growing. Cheers to Toad,
Ian and
 the rest of the team. Hope I could get broadband and contribute one day :)

  They have? In what sense? All I hear are complaints... and I usually run
  unstable, because it's what gets hacked on mostly...

 With the the latest stable builds, my java hanging problems have gone
away
 (I figure that they were in an infinite loop trying to garbage collect due
 to the leaks; it's a bug in the jvm, certainly, but it seems it's been
 worked around) and I'm able to fetch information fairly easily. Sure, it's
 not like surfing the web, but right now freenet is better than it's ever
 been.

 You're only ever going to hear complaints because the happy people don't
 need support. :)

 For reference, what I did to make Freenet work well:
 - Blow away my old freenet configuration (from the last slashdotting era);
 - Re-seed with the stable seeds;
 - Forward the correct port on my Linksys router;
 - Use cjb.net for IP forwarding;
 - Increase RAM allowance for the jvm to 256 MB (-Xmx256m in
 start-freenet.sh);
 - Increase store size to 4 GB.

 Most of this is standard configuration. The only reason I increased my
store
 size is because I wanted to contribute more to the network.

Re: [freenet-support] freenet commitment settings

[vinyl1]

So it seems like FUQID is not connecting to my (transient) Freenet node at all.  

In my case, this could be firewall-related; ZoneAlarm is probably protecting my TCP/IP 
stack a bit too aggressively.  Either that, or FUQID trying to connect to the wrong 
port.  I'll check the client port in my Freenet node and make sure it's accessible.  
How does FUQID know which port to use?

Is there some way to learn Freenet installation/configuration/general architecture 
other than reading the code?  I haven't really been able to find documentation at the 
relevant level of detail.  

Thanks, you guys are good.

 This is strange. Why is FUQID trying to connect to the node on port
 10061? It should try to connect on the FCP port, NOT THE FNP PORT. Check
 your config file for clientPort=some number, usually 8481.
 
 I read that as socket error 10061 which is a fairly common error code  
 from sockets ;)
 
 http://www.qksoft.com/qk-smtp-server/socket-error.html
 
 It does mean FCP isn't listening though.

Is it making too many connections, resulting in the node shutting down
the FCP port? IIRC we only do that on the web interface port...

Re: [freenet-support] ditto on what b said!

[vinyl1]

I would imagine that the problem is a lot of users running nodes with older, 
incompatible releases.  If part of the content is only stored on such nodes, the 
chance of a user with the new release being able to retrieve is very slim.  If 
everyone was up to date, I don't think there would be a problem.

A good test would be to insert new content through an up-to-date node.  Other users 
using up-to-date nodes should be able to retrieve it quickly.

I agree, there should be a way to notify users of older releases that they should 
update their nodes.  Perhaps a broadcast feature?  Or maybe auto-update through 
Freenet itself?

Re: [freenet-support] freenet commitment settings

[vinyl1]

OK, I have the latest build (5074), the latest seed nodes, the latest
everything I could find as of today, 3/8/2004

On the Web interface, I can't load The Freedom Engine, Dolphin's Free Index,
and Content of Evil.  I can load the Freenet Help Index and YoYo.  This is
possibly due to unreachable, out-of-date nodes.  The stuff that does load
seems to work better than before.

However, since I have plenty of connections, I am a little surprised I can't
insert with FUQID.  Here is a piece of my log:

I am on dialup, and am running a transient node.  It used to work OK,
although slowly, for viewing content and using FUQID and Frost.

I can see why FUQID might not be able to retrieve old content, but I cannot
see why FUQID won't insert, unless it has hard-coded node IP addresses
compiled into it.  Release 1.2 is the latest FUQID I could find.

 Yes, thank you, I am already running 5074.  As Vinyl1 said, I may be
trying
 to retrieve old inserts that are on nodes that haven't been updated.  But
 it seems like quite a lot of content is on old nodes.  If that is the case
 then I agree that there should be some way to either auto update or to
 message people that their node is obsolete.

 Before you give up, please make sure you have upgraded to the

 the build number listed there.  It should be 5074.  If it is
 below 5066, your node is part of a dwindling network of
 unmaintained freenet nodes which do not communicate with
 the newer nodes.
 
  From http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=download :
 
 Windows users can upgrade to the latest daily Freenet snapshot
 release by clicking on Update Snapshot in the Freenet section of
 their Start menu.
 
 Linux users may similarly upgrade by running the update.sh shell
 script in the freenet/ directory.
