 Nodeconfig refuses point blank to run on my machine as of main build 529.

 * make it so that nodeconf can change every option

 Secret options are bad :)  I still seem to have an un-needed 'temporary
directory' setting - which it warns me about on every
 startup.

Can you expound on this one?

 * have nodeconf just edit the config in place (effectively, have it treat
 %'s and not have to be manually rewritten)

 It isn't doing this already?

Nope. The lifecycle of the options is as follows: defaults set in program;
options in config file read overwriting defaults; changes made; new file
written in big slew of printfs.

 * fix import/export ref on bunny

 Can we have an export all known references option?  At least until the
routing table stops getting eaten by the datastore
 bugs :)

 * popup window when # of threads is changed to equal 0

 Is that a bad option to set then?

Telling fred it can spawn as many threads as it wants? Yes.

 * make windows installer using windows installer.

 Strongly disagree - the nullsoft installer is a fine and accepted piece of
work, whereas the default windows installer is a
 horrible piece of junk.  Unless you are having some major problems with
the nullsoft explorer, what is the incentive to
 change?  If you are worried about transparence then most people would
probably be happy with a zip file and a 'run this
 first' file.

Zip files don't work. Too many users can't figure out how they work (yes,
we've had complaints on that before). This is just a longterm goal. Not
having to have an adhoc collection o things that can go wrong would be nice.

 * allow selection of java's if don't want first one found out of the
   registry

 Please, yes please.  Give us a list of all of them and let us choose.
Would it be possible to list what version each java
 is, since it's not always obvious from the directory.

 * have nodeconfig popup a window when using an invalid ip address
 (192.168.*.*, 10.*.*.*, phlemball.aol)

 Possibly unrelated, but what is the option to allow arbitary lients to
connect on the client port or the web port - or is
 this incredibly unsafe?

In the windows client, the option is on the advanced page in the FCP access
box. For mainport, there is no option in the config program yet.

 * rewrite in c++ so I don't have to deal with java sh*t.
 * automatically register dyndns if they don't have it already (until
arks)
 (freenetnode.com would probably be setup fairly easily)

 A dyndns for frenetnode.com would be kinda nice to have built in.  Make
sure the explanation of what this is, is
 comprehensible to the average user :)

 Hmm.  If we have dyndns would this make routing via dynamic IP a more
sensible thing?  In which case, might renaming
 transient mode to 'client only' or something similar help?

?

 * add messagebox before stopping the node when updating snapshot
 * add update option on systray app

 How often are updates checked for?  And is it done just by getting a
freenet message or do we poll or is it via some out of
 band method?

Fproxy will tell you when higher build numbers are available.

 * allow for negative # of threads (add checkbox. Give big warning when
set
 since FastThreadFactory = evil)

 Uh - negative threads?  What would that be?

If the value of maxThreads is negative, a different thread factory is used
which doesn't remove threads ever, which may potentially speed things up but
other than that is similar to maxThreads = 0

 * fix the file naming of freenet-webinstall.exe to
 freenet-webinstall-{$VER}.exe

 Uh - surely the webinstaller installs whatever the latest version of
freenet there is?

Yes. The problem is that files in the webinstaller change. There needs to be
atleast some versioning of that, otherwise people are blindly downloading

 As to using the monolithic installer:  A couple of times downloading via
the normal update or web update I got an out of date
 version of the software - so I dropped back to the monolithic one, which
worked once I altered the version number in the
 url...

Is there transparent http caching by your ISP, becuase I download the new
jars VIA the update mechanism here myself.

 Right, what else would I request?   Some more sensible defaults would be
good - perhaps default choke of bandwidth to the
 kinds of levels that make sense on a cable / DSL connection.

The problem with that is that sane settings vary widely. For example, at
home I can upload at about 3 times what is safe for me to upload here, due
to additional congestion, but I can download about twice as fast here as at
home.

 Also, on windows, offerring an option to set the registry keys that frost
advises (that set your socket limits up for server
 working) might be a good idea.

what?

[freenet-support] initial configfile breaks fproxy in 5.0.4

2002-11-04 Thread nicolas fischer
Hi,

I did a clean install of freenet 5.0.4 (linux) and fproxy wasn't working, so I
 dug the maillist and found:

[freenet-support] Can't access http://127.0.0.1:;
 (http://hawk.freenetproject.org/pipermail/support/2002-October/000637.html)
quoting from that:

One reason you may be having trouble getting the gateway screen to come up is
that there have been changes in the configuration file - see Greg Wooledge's
message of 2002-09-24, Configuration file changes.

 I said so. You can try debugging freenet.jar on your own, if you don't
 believe, maybe you will find the clue. I didn't.

inserting the following into my freenet.conf from the referenced post
 (http://hawk.freenetproject.org/pipermail/support/2002-September/000609.html) solved 
the
 problem.

mainport.port=
mainport.bindAddress=*
mainport.allowedHosts=localhost,zapp.void,guestmill.void,zero.void

The thing to note here is that the initial config-file (generated through first
 start of start-freenet.sh) wont work.

You're making it really hard here for new users (imagine being not that
 familiar with the concept in the first place, and then such a misconfig), especially
 the linux-savvy that will likely donate permanent wide bandwidth and large
 store. (I'm silently assuming the win-install doesn't have this problem).

This might have slipped the responsible persons attention cause he was probably
 using his old configfile.

other than that: keep up the great work to make the world a safer place,
thanks,
nick

Now it's nothing but RNFs - can't contact any other servers at all; and at 35% system 
load despite no requests going either 
way!

Nothing in the visible logs.

Spoke too soon, now the load it at 47%

Blegh - my routing table has gotten corrupted AGAIN.



Ok - replies to messages which I can read on the web archive but which I can't see on

Re: Trying to help with the routing table problems.  Yes, I did that, deleted the rt

sure what they are.  Didn't help  - still getting the no nodes known problem.  
Reseeded - same problem.

Yes - I am using suns jre.

Oddly, even though my node knows about no other nodes - I am still serving up data to 
people.

As to strange ports being open.  Now it seems ok - but they were definately open at 
one poine and it was definately the 
freenet.exe that was listening on them.

Re: [freenet-support] How big is freenet, right now, you think?

2002-11-04 Thread Vitenka - Zen
Ok, that all makes sense.  I missed the part about 
chooing which host to ask questions about based 
upon lexicographical closeness to the keys it has 
returned before.

Do hosts transmit routing tables to each other 
periodically?  Obviously you wouldn't want to trust 
a routing table you have been sent - but you could 
at least harvest new node addreses from it.

I don't think the 'time until your routing table is 
sensible' is actually my problem though - my whole 
routing table keeps getting eaten.  I'm rolling 
back to build 527.

I'm not sure you'd want to export node references to nodes that you
can't actually reach.  A lot of bogus node references get sent out
in announcements, and are eventually dropped from the routing table
because they don't work.

[freenet-support] Tired of my complaining yet? If not, read!

2002-11-04 Thread Robert Carroll



I just want to spout off about my node's 
performance, or lack of it. I'm running a permanent node on a server that 
has other things to do besides spend every cpu cycle on a java app. Also, 
like alot of node operators, I don't use the machine directly, but instead 
access fproxy and fcp from another machine. Sometimes it can take SEVERAL 
minutes just to call up the web interface! Even when I do finally get 
through, alot of content is simply not found, no doubt due to 
overloadedpermanent nodes. Here are some suggestions for the 
developers:

Transient nodes should be your lowest priority 
right now. Attention should be shifted to the permanent nodes because the 
health of the network depends on them. That means that CPU utilization 
needs to be reduced drastically. Performance for FCP and FProxy need to 
get the HIGHEST priority when the node is processing. If that means that 
other transactions have to be put on hold in order to process a local request, 
then so be it. Permanent node operators should not be penalized for 
serving the Freenet community. 
More should be done to encourage people to run 
permanent nodes. Requests could be prioritized by each node according to 
the requesters responsiveness and availability to that node. Of course 
some minimum level of resources need to be dedicated to slower nodes to prevent 
the network from fragmenting. To help those who are firewalled or using 
NAT (who have trouble receiving inbound connections, but not establishing 
outbound connections), nodes with a permanent IP could also serve as helpers, by 
listening on behalf of a firewalled or NAT node. This would only be 
required for establishing connections, NOT for acting as a proxy for the 
data. Bandwidth requirements would be minor and would allow alot of people 
to become permanent nodes.

fishtools edition #25 is presently inserting.  slowly, so you'll have to
wait a few hours.  

(the bug, btw, involves FEC checkblocks being not inserted at all, but
instead zero's being inserted in their place).  (this doesn't effect the
audio streamer's FEC implentation, which is considerable different - that
one works still, that said, there is a new version of that as well today,
but that's just for verification support)

If anyoner has any questions, I'll be the aquatic being wearing a brown
