With respect this seems insufficiently good enough for the real world nature in which a node will run. People will want (I want) Freenet to notice that its share of bandwidth has been dropped and to react accordingly. How, exactly? We need to know what our target is in order to manage bandwidth usage effectively and especially in order to manage the number of trailer transfers and requests. Current messageSendTimeRequest seems a good measure of that. That is taken into account by rate limiting, and hence affects the number of queries accepted, and thus the bandwidth usage (in a similar way to high level bandwidth limiting). So I naively ask can't we mroe dynamically adjust bandwidth caps down when we see messageSendTimeRequest shoot up? Probably not...I suspect that would create a vicious circle. Ok but isn';t there some measure Freenet can use to notice it's getting choked and not to try and hog the connection? We already do, effectively. Ok I am for all intents and purposes and innocent newbie whose just been quitely running a node for two years, trying to share what bandwidth I can because I think the project is worthwhile and bandwidth (so I've read) is the greatest need. Hehe. Working software is probably the greatest need :). And certainly I've seen Freenet (when on a good enough build, which is usually the case) sucks up every last byte of my bandwidth and I like to think that that is being useful to someone somehow. I've assumed that if my 80 Gb datastore fills up at 1 Gb per day, and Freenet still routes to and through my meager 128/128 kbps line (even when I cap it lower) that, hey, maybe my node is useful or needed or something. Ouch. Dual ISDN is the cheapest broadband available in your area? That's horrible. :). And when I see something new on COFE and follow the link and find 10% of the data is already in my meagre 1.5 Gb store I think hey, it got there somehow. I'm impressed with how well it works. Much better lately, thank you Toad. And I'm amazed so many connections are to Sweden or Germany or such like. In fact I've ever only noticed one (brief) connection to a New Zealand node. I'm not sure what that all means, except that even on a (by world standards) a relatively low bandwidth node, Freenet is highly functional to me. Ah, you're in NZ. Hence the cr*p bandwidth. I'm rambling...my point is that I read and try to understand but I'm a newbie and may blather in my innocence...forgive my questionsand comments. I don't expect agreement. But I throw them out anyway. I watch (with envy) discussions on bandwidth and pricing and (sadly) I think the world is moving more to caps (monthly limits) rather than open. It certainly is in Oz and NZ. Indeed. And I notice the whining of people in the US when their providers move them on to similar capped plans. Maybe the competition is strong enough to mitigate that, but bandwidth ain't cheap and simple economics seems the way to stop the leeches. I see it as a growing trend. But that's just my view. Wish it would trend the other way. Bandwidth isn't THAT expensive. People who want bandwidth will switch ISPs in a healthy market. I have been tempted by some DSL deals but unless Cable starts imposing and enforcing bandwidth limitations, I'm sticking to my cable modem for now. If they do, I'll take my business elsewhere, even if it means a different phone telco. There is sadly no priority in it ATM. To help one user run a node in a wierd situation... hmm. I'll think about it. Absolutely. You set the priorities. I have no expectations that anything would be done about it. Mostly I have a questions, which I think is still unanswered: How will a node respond if one set of connections has a high bandwidth cap and another set of connections has a low bandwidth cap (assuming these caps are applied externally). Does the node give its average recommendation on retry intervals and load to ALL the connections? Will the high bandwidth connections figure out this is a good node to deal with, even if I'm sending out a retry interval based on averages. It will not understand it. Therefore it will not deal with it particularly well.. Put another way: does freenet assume all my outgoing and incoming connections have equal bandwidth throughput? Does that affect routing in a suboptimal way? Unless they are LAN or local or reserved IPs, they are throttled in a similar manner and accounted for as one unit for high level bandwidth limiting. We COULD have multiple low level limiters, but it'd be a PITA to implement,

Increased performance for BigInteger operations such as crypto; 5-10x faster using the free GMP library than Sun's proprietary implementation. On the other hand, it's quite easy to lose control with object creation, and to forget how to help the GC do the work most efficiently. That has nothing to do with Java in itself though. Well, Java does tend to produce a lot of object churn. But even if I was doing a project the size of Freenet in C++ I would find a GC very useful.

[freenet-support] FCPTools and FCPLib Update
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I would like to announce new tarballs and complete documentation for FCPTools and FCPLib, the C library used internally by FCPTools. Ironically this is just after Greg's announcement for FT; It's taken me some time to get the code right, and create the updated, reformatted documentation both for the fcptools and fcplib. To download the latest source tarball: - - http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/fcptools-unstable.tgz To download the latest Win32 binaries (MSVC 6): - - http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/fcptools-unstable-bin.tgz For the updated documentation on FCPTools: - - http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=fcptools For the *NEW* documentation on FCPLib: - - http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=FCPlib /***/ Some major improvements have been made to the tools, namely: *) All memory leaks have been found and fixed (using dmalloc). *) Win32 specific file-handling problems have all been addressed. *) Source code has been successfully compiled on Win32, Linux, BSD, Solaris and OS X. *) A new utility 'fcpx' has been added to serve as a general-purpose node utility. *) Get and Put code has been factored into separate routines that are re-used throughout FCPLib. *) The FCPLib API has been settled on and will remain 95% the same for the upcoming 0.9 1.0 release. Some limitations: *) Splitfile support only for Insert (ClientPut only). *) Metadata support incomplete. *) fcpget can only handle 1 metadata chunk (needs to be tweaked to accept more than one on ClientGet). Perhaps some other things are missing as well. However since the memory leaks are gone the programs are running more predictable than ever (this isn't to say it was *easy* closing up all those leaks, but it's done). If something doesn't work as advertised please let me know via email. It should compile and run right out of the box, so anything less than this is an issue.

I have re download the seednode after thinking freenet was frozen for 5 minutes because no progress bar working (another bug). I have access to freenet web page now. Thanks for the help. But if I understand, Freenet can't work on a network without fixed IP or dns server ? Freenet can't work with an internal IP and port redirection from the external IP so no way to go throw a firewall ? Lot of constraint for trying to make a free network with everyone.

Freenet can't work with an internal IP and port redirection from the external IP so no way to go throw a firewall ? Lot of constraint for trying to make a free network with everyone. Freenet works fine with ports forwarded from the firewall, but it doesn't use uPNP or anything, so you need to manually forward the port. You do need to keep the port number the same between the firewall and host. I know, I've done it. These days I run it on my firewall machine - small network, only that machine stays on 24/7 :P I am force to make a little program who will modify the freenet.ini for changing the IP and unloading and reloading Freenet? I wonder why so basic things are not implement in Freenet. Or use a service such as dyndns.org and put your hostname in your freenet.ini. Freenet has routines to check for IP changes (I've disabled them - static IP), so it should work pretty well once it's established, but before that it needs to announce an IP and port to connect to over the network so people start connecting to it. -- Phillip Hutchings [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sitharus.com/ smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ 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]
