Why does it take forever for freenet to answer HTTP requests? Once it answers

I'm running on FreeBSD 4.10 with Sun Java 1.4.2
I'm also running FreeBSD 4.10 with j2re1.4.2_05 under Linux
compatibility. I run into a similar bottleneck from time to time. One
thing that might help you is to tweak your browser settings such that
your browser will fetch more items from fproxy (and other hosts) at once.
This helps sometimes but not always.
If you use Firefox, go to about:config and paste this into the filter:
network.http.max
Several settings will show up for this filter. The defaults are fairly
low. If you have a broadband connection, I would suggest these settings:
network.http.max-connections : 50
network.http.max-connections-per-server : 25
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 10
If you use IE, there is a similar tweak, but it involves the registry
and I don't remember the values. As you're writing with mutt, I imagine
it's not worth the effort to go looking .. :)
Even with my Firefox tuned to the above settings, I still run into
situations where fproxy simply stops responding, even if there are only
1 or 2 active requests, well under the browser limit. I imagine that
fproxy is allocated a small number of threads out of the maximum
available, but I'm not positive.
I hope the browser settings help you,
