You're right: Class Threads used Checkpoint: Opening connection 56 freenet.interfaces.LocalNIOInterface$ConnectionShell 1 freenet.node.states.data.DataStateInitiator 1 freenet.node.states.data.TrailerWriteCallbackMessage:true:true 1 I used Lynx to be sure there were no extraneous requests. It's odd that with so many connections to other nodes, I still get RNFs frequently that say "Attempts were made to contact 2 nodes", or even 0, as I reported previously. > With the default settings, Freenet will pretty much saturate a dialup > link when you're actively using it, and it will eat bandwidth even when > you aren't using it.

I have transient on, and doAnnounce=false.
