[freenet-support] Just Getting Started

2004-03-09 Thread Galen
Hi,

I think I have a relatively decent idea of how freenet works. And if I 
had a nice broadband connection I could dedicate to freenet, I'd be 
delighted and I don't think I'd have problems. But for now, my results 
with freenet have been, to say the least, lackluster. I am currently on 
dialup internet and using transient mode. Any suggestions on how to 
make things actually work? I want to just explore and load a few pieces 
of content...

I'm running Mac OS X and don't seem to have problems loading up freenet 
and whatnot, it's just actually getting it to load content that's 
basically impossible. I'm more than reasonably terminal-comfortable.

And yeah, I know I seriously need broadband. Qwest just brought DSL to 
my neighborhood and I'll probably sign up pretty soon here, but for 
now, dialup is where I'm at. Really, if people are trying to use 
freenet to get sensitive information (the stuff governments want to 
censor), it's very possible they'll be on dialup also, so I don't think 
there's quite zero use for dialup, you know...

Re: [freenet-support] freenet commitment settings

2004-03-09 Thread vinyl1
So it seems like FUQID is not connecting to my (transient) Freenet node at all.  

In my case, this could be firewall-related; ZoneAlarm is probably protecting my TCP/IP 
stack a bit too aggressively.  Either that, or FUQID trying to connect to the wrong 
port.  I'll check the client port in my Freenet node and make sure it's accessible.  
How does FUQID know which port to use?

Is there some way to learn Freenet installation/configuration/general architecture 
other than reading the code?  I haven't really been able to find documentation at the 
relevant level of detail.  

Thanks, you guys are good.

Is it making too many connections, resulting in the node shutting down
the FCP port? IIRC we only do that on the web interface port...

[freenet-support] REF seeding (fwd)

2004-03-09 Thread Christopher Brian Jack

the list complained about by brians-anime.com domain handled by a
multidomained mailserver (server's name is ruby and it handles mail for
enugen.net and brians-anime.com but idents as ruby.enugen.net) so I had to
resend this with the name my server report rather than the domain I
publish (brian at nospam brians-anime.com) as my email address.

Subject: REF seeding

will running the freenet node over extended periods of time increase the
reliability of the cached seed nodes.  I seem to be in a very unstable
part of the network and I can only seem to get like a 1% success rate on
accesses.  The majority of attempt restart at some stage and other nodes
just totally decline.

If just keeping the node running won't increase reliability is there
another method or utility I can use to find more reliable 'uplink nodes'?

Or is there somethiing I can do in configuration to make things more
tolerant and increases the chances of successfully retries data under
specified keys?

Re: [freenet-support] windows vs. linux.. bummer

2004-03-09 Thread Joe Blow
I do have a NAT box, but the listen port is forwarded.
 And, my pants are pulled down on the box I'm running
freenet on (everything set to ACCEPT).  Besides I when
I plugged the cable modem into the freenet box
(bypassing the NAT machine), it was still slow as a
dog.  I also connected my windows machine up to the
NAT box to see if it would slow down, but it didn't
seem to.  I also upgraded to the latest j2re package
from sun, still the same.

The good news is that frost is finnally working, maybe
not as fast as it would be on the windows machine. 
The ONLY page I was able to get from the freenet proxy
was the FMB page after a few days of running.  None of
the other page's icons will even pop up.

Maybe there's a better java vm to use.  I don't know,
I'm just taking stabs in the dark now.

[freenet-support] Freenet Connection

2004-03-09 Thread news.gmane.org
Hi,

since several builds I have problems with both Stable and Unstable builds.
First, after a major upgrade I couldn't get any data except [EMAIL PROTECTED] off
freenet.
I reinstalled, reseeded nodes etc - there was no luck :(
Freenet built up connections, but nothing could be retrieved.
When I tried unstable (i reseeded to unstable then), I had same luck as with
the stable branch.

Now even bigger problems - I thought, maybe I should try the new build after
a while and completely removed freenet and reinstalled it. Now I wonder why
is the stable ref file only 10 kb small and why i can't build up a single
connection.?
In the log i get hundreds of such messages:

11.03.2003 19:37:07 (freenet.node.Main$InsertARK, YThread-2, NORMAL):
RouteNotFound Inserting ARK

System: WinXP Pro / No SPs, 1800+ Athlon, 256 DDR.
Connection:  My PC --> NAT Router --> DSL Connection [DMZ/Routed]
The ip is written into the config file properly.

JRE: The latest 1.5 Beta, I'll try JRE1.4 stable now. Maybe it is because of
it...

Thank you in advance.

[freenet-support] windows vs. linux.. bummer

2004-03-09 Thread Joe Blow
Two systems:
1) Very fast linux box running suse 9.0 DSL connection 1.2Mbit.
2) Slower laptop running WinXP Cable modem < 1.0Mbit.
 
I set up freenet 5074 on my linux box a few days ago.  I have over 2.4Gb in my store, but not even one icon on the front page will download yet.  I can't get to any of the default links on the startup page.
 
Yesturday, I setup 5074 on my windows box, and it took off!  All the icons load, YoYo will open up.  Freenet on a slower windows machine with a slower internet connection is running better than my linux box!  What's the deal?
 
I even tried using the seednodes.ref file from my windows machine on the linux node, and it still didn't help.  I setup my linux box off the cable modem connection to see if that would help, but it didn't.  This is a major bummer, anyone else see this?
 
Another thing I don't like about the freenet setup on linux, is that the freenet.conf file doesn't show all the options like it used to.
 
Thanks

Windows maintainer needed was Re: [freenet-support] ditto on what "b" said!

2004-03-09 Thread Toad
A lot of the problem actually is due to users running nodes with old
config files generated by the windows configurator, which forces all
settings (doesn't write %'s), so they run with old settings such as 50
node routing tables, which mean that the unix nodes run a lot better
than the windows ones, but even the unix nodes don't run well because
the network is stuffed with windows nodes with stupid configs. Ian
recently appealed for a maintainer for the windows config utilities... I
suppose I will have to do it if nobody comes forward, but if you can do
it, please contact him. The software in question is written in C. A
longer term solution would be to handle configuration in the node via
HTML, but *this will take considerable effort and time*.

This is strange. Why is FUQID trying to connect to the node on port
10061? It should try to connect on the FCP port, NOT THE FNP PORT. Check
your config file for clientPort=, usually 8481.

Looks like a error in the setup of your node or fuqid, as it can't even connect
to the FCP port of your node. Make shure you have entered the right port and
address within fuqid.
I am on dialup, and am running a transient node.  It used to work OK,
although slowly, for viewing content and using FUQID and Frost.
Don't expect any good performance from a transient node on dialup.

I can see why FUQID might not be able to retrieve old content, but I cannot
see why FUQID won't insert, unless it has hard-coded node IP addresses
compiled into it.  Release 1.2 is the latest FUQID I could find.
FUQID 1.3 is the latest and resolves some major bugs.

Basing your evaluation of your node's performance on what's appearing and/or
reachable via the main web interface is not a good idea.  Most of the gateway
sites have been horribly unreliable for quite some time now (with the exception
of DFI).  I really don't know why this is the case; I've had no trouble at all
inserting DFI daily.  To ensure that the next DBR update is inserted in time, I
always start the update process (an automated, scheduled job) at least 1 1/2
hours prior to the rollover time (12:00 am GMT).  I'm wondering if other
gateway site maintainers are not allowing enough time in advance for their
inserts to complete on time.

DFI's insert got a little screwed up yesterday, due to the fact that I was in
the process of running a portupgrade of my JDK under FreeBSD.  Probably due to
the additional load on the system from running the build, FIW somehow ended up
inserting DFI one day further into the future than it was supposed to.  I didn't
discover this and finally get the problem corrected until about 8:30 pm CST
(2:30 am GMT).

I saw someone else here basing assumptions about their node's behavior on the
fact that they couldn't reach YoYo!  Unfortunately, Yoyo! is one of the more
unreliable sites lately (no idea why).

Anyway, the gist of the idea is this: don't assume that non-functioning gateway
sites mean your node is not working.

[freenet-support] Freenet usability...

2004-03-09 Thread Krist van Besien
Hello all,

I used freenet a while a go. Until moving meant no broadband connection
for a while. I now have broadband again, and a machine I can leave on
all the time. So I looked into freenet again.
On my system freenet is not stable...

The setup:

- System is Linux Gentoo 1.4, 256 Mb Ram, Java is Sun JKD 1.4.2
- Network is cable, 1000 kbs down. 200 kbs up...
- Freenet version is 5074
After having started freenet it normally works for a while as I expect. 
But after a few hours it goes haywire:

- Nr. of Java processes is normally around 50, and varies a bit. But 
then it starts oscilating between around 50 and around 150. As in: 
Suddenly 100 processes are spawned, they stay around a minute, then die. 
After about five minutes this repeats.
- CPU load, which is normally about 50% goes 100%
- Node does not repsond to requests.
- Network traffic almost stops.
Lots of error messages in the log files, especially "minimum request 
interval violated!". After restart I'm no longer seeing this error...

The only thing to do is restart. In order to keep my node usable I would
have to do this about every couple of hours.
I run a process on my system that collects and graphs stats. I've got a 
few nice graphs showing the nr. of Java processes on my system that show 
how Freenet starts to wildly oscilate...

If it is OK I'll post the graphs to the list.

Krist
