It is not a closed protocol, but it is continually evolving and not well documented. I don't believe that rewriting Freenet in C (or assembler for that matter) would dramatically improve performance, and a pure client will probably not be well integrated into the network i.e. be slow. Your best bet is probably to work on Freenet itself and then build a nice filesharing GUI (which can be proprietary if you need it to be), and bundle Freenet with it. > > Thank you for your time. > > With Best Regards, > Andrew Surzhenko > -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I've been using freenet for years and I never heard about other people'd download showing up as uploads in your freenet page (why should they? They're not downloading from you as they would on say eMule) If those uploades are queued, somebody or something added them to the queue. What probably happened is that the uploads were initiated in Thaw or Frost. -- FAFS - The Freenet Applications FreeSite USK at ugb~uuscsidMI-Ze8laZe~o3BUIb3S50i25RIwDH99M,9T20t3xoG-dQfMO94LGOl9AxRTkaz~TykFY-voqaTQI,AQACAAE/FAFS/27/ freemail: luke771 at MJWEES3VJBMS2ZKMIJUECT3SJB3UK5SBKBAVQYJQO5FXGWSROE2USNDKNMZU2SK2ORXUKLDZJYWXQUSNMRYUCWD6IF3HAULWKRKWW2SJJVEGQQTDNNKGYMRWKFZW6V3ONNIDKQ3DKR3SYQKRIFBUCQKF.freemail

On the downloads/uploads page, we are talking about high level inserts originated by you. OK, disregard my previous message, I finally realized the sense of Toad's answer. I had added that 'insert' vs. 'upload' distintion that I had made up. The UL/DL page is only abouot insert (or uploads) originated by you, while the stats page is about inserts (or uploads) that your node uploads, no matter who originate them, but calling the former 'inserts' and the latter 'uploads' is bogus.
