[freenet-support] Very few connections on 0.5

[DJ's Box]

I've noticed that for some months already, my node has a very low
number of connections (especially active ones). This is an average
report on Open Connections page:

Connections open (Inbound/Outbound/Limit)   30 (23/7/90)
Transfers active (Transmitting/Receiving)   9 (7/2)
Data waiting to be transferred  271 Bytes
Total amount of data transferred3.508 MiB

What could be the reason? Is 0.5 really that small now? I've used it
for quite a while, though.

Correct, 0,5 is very small due to the fact that new people do not join it
(because of the security vulnerabilities and other things) and people who have
used it in the past have mostly migrated to 0,7.

 But _that_ small? So there's only like 30-40 people on the whole
 planet that user 0.5 at this point (judging by the average number of
 connections on my node)? Sounds a little too small to believe...
 Is there a list of security vulnerabilities and other things
 available somewhere?

Actually, I believe that there's still quite a few people using 0.5.  A
couple months ago I had a disk problem that resulted in my deleting all
of my routing table files and starting from scratch.  After two months
of running 0.5 24/7 here's my node's view of the 0.5 network:

I can also say that the freenet 0.5 packages on my unofficial 0.5 mirror
are still being downloaded frequently.  Builds 5107 and 5109 averaging
around 50 to 60 downloads per month.

I believe the 0.5 network to actually be growing, not shrinking.  It's
slow growth to be sure but it's growth nonetheless.
