[freenet-support] connecting to freenet?
Yes, well...welcom to the club. It's really not that much of a surprise. What can I say? I suggest you scrutinise www.freenethelp.org and see if you can find any useful hints there. Your situation is not unique, and there are some possible reasons mentionned on the wiki, but it still could be that it doesn't apply in your case. For instance, I suspect that people that have a router/firewall still have more difficulties running (connecting) it, even though the new builds are supposed to work without a prob even if you have one. I'm wondering though...can anyone, preferably a devl, explain to me what exactly is the deal in regard to that? DOES it work now 'out of the box', or do you need to adapt your configuration (NAT, port,...) and if so to what degree. Pls make a clear and understandable (for noobs) explanation so that I can copypaste it on the wiki. (Also if there are other likely opinions on why a node can't connect after hours are welcommed).

Re: [freenet-support] connecting to freenet?
Okay, here's the deal at present: If you don't port forward, bidi connections means that you may still be able to become a useful member of the network by serving requests for nodes that you opened connections to. However, you may not, in practice, as Newsbyte's node is an example of (have you tried reseeding, Newsbyte? Could you perhaps reinstall, then send me the routing table and open connections pages twice daily for a few days? Probably the Environment page would help too). If you DO port forward, then your node's IP address will be detected automatically and everything should just work. Automatic port forwarding is possible for some routers via UPP but has not yet been implemented. On Wed, Sep 15, 2004 at 11:10:07AM +0200, Newsbyte wrote: Yes, well...welcom to the club.

Re: [freenet-support] i can?t connect to freenet
Hi. What can you get to? Can you get to the Web Interface page on http://127.0.0.1:/ ? Please switch to Advanced mode using the link on that page. What happens when you request TFE, FIND or the other links? Please send me the contents of the Environment, Open Connections and Routing Table (from Node Status) pages. Are you firewalled?

[freenet-support] Donations and slashdot
As some of us have already discussed on IIP, the question becomes urgent what to do for the near future. As the donationpage shows, we are in need for some extra financial input, and thus we should contemplate on the how to do this best. Now, I've said before that we're long overdue for the 0.6, but still, it's also true that currently, it isn't much better performing (as a whole) then the 0.5 version of the past year. Many changes have been made, but no real progress (from the viewpoint of a newbie user) has come out of it, as yet. Now, with the simulations, I feel we have a tool that could finally help us in a way that surpasses the haphazard way untill now, and hopefully that will be even more stimualted with a testnetwork, in the not-to-distant future. I have reasonable hope, thus, that, with further improvements such as the small-chunks and the tools to check performance, we might actually go forward rather quickly, compared to the past year(s). It therefor begs the question, whether it would not be wise to wait a bit longer still, untill we really have something that is noticable better. This all depends on whether we can afford it, and here again, a suggestion of toad(?) gives us an alternative. apart from being useful tools for the development process, the graphs made, are also very interesting and visually appealing. It is therefor suggested, and IMHO a good idea, to use these graphs, and the simulator, as a slashdot-article. If we made a nice page with graphs and some summary explanation, and we offer the simulator for d/l, preferably with a howto so ppl can easily try it out, I think this will cause enough attraction to give us some additional flux in regard to interest and finances. The financial and other gains would be substantial and form a very nice in-between untill the 0.6 version is ready, and it wouldn't cost us all that much in time and effort, in comparison. So, I would agree with this option, make something (page?) interesting of/with the graphs, make the simulator a bit more user-friendly, and clean up some bugs on the current stable build, but nothing too vast...and bring it on slashdot as soon as possible. Once we've gained some financial leeway and the pressure is in that regard has diminuished, we can continue with the 0.6 full speed. Maybe, in a few months, we can then bring out a 0.6 that IS, indeed, better then any current 0.5 build!

Re: [freenet-support] Donations and slashdot
Clarification: We do not want to be slashdotted _right now_. When we are ready, we will make it clear - we want to set up a nice page on the website, for example, and fix a few more stable bugs.

[freenet-support] Timed content
I was thinking about the incredible amount of space that is used within freenet to hold contents that no one will never try to retrieve, because, for example, they are obsolete. If the person that puts the content on freenet knows that, for example, within 1 week, it will be obsolete, because of newer releases or because no one will know no more about its existence (eg: files shared via frost), or for anything else, it would be great if he could specify a time when every node keeping parts of the file can delete them (removing the file from freenet). ___ 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]
