0a. Don't panic!
0b. Keep node running as long as possible.
1a. Don't panic!
1b. It helps to have frost ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtcfrost ) running 
with 
Automatically Refresh Boards turned on.
2a. Don't panic!
2b. Set your datastore to at least a few Gibibytes.
3a. Don't panic!
3b. Realise that the aim of freenet is anonymity and resistance to censorship, 
not speed 
of downloads.
4a. Don't panic!
4b. Realise that freenet isn't actually that slow, but rather high latency 
network.

Hope this helps.

[freenet-support] Problem using freenet

[Yuk Hui]

Hi,

I tried the freenet software in your website for a whole day, but so far I can't go to any single freesite, the speed is very very slow, almost the worst p2p application I have ever used. Can you tell me how to make it better?


Regards,
Yuk

Quoting sutonimh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Dumb newbie here.  Just started using Freenet about 4 hours ago,
 installed frost too.  Soo far I can't seem to view anything past the web
 interface splash page.  Various errors, most common is the Route not
 found error.  Renewed the seednodes.  And have tried resetting freenet
 several times.  Advice?

Most probably it just hasn't had time to integrate into the network.  Let it run
for as long as you can.  Check every once in a while to see if you can load
something.  It'll need at least five hours of uninterrupted operation before it
starts to retrieve stuff, and then another good chunk of time before it'll start
reliably retrieving stuff.  What I've noticed is that Freenet benefits greatly 
from as much operation time as you can give it.  Meaning, it's not a simple
ramp up to expected operation.  The ramp keeps going and going.

A slim possibility, based on your report, is that you have a real problem in the
set up.  Try the above time-giving first.

While you're waiting, you can visit:
https://freenet.thing.net/gateways/

It's a list of public Freenet gateways.  It's non-anonymous, since your info
travels over the non-Freenet portion of the Internet, so beware.  But it's
proof that there is a Freenet, and you can whet your appetite.  *g*

Mail this list if you're still having the problem after a day or two.
