Hm, interesting. This is the kind of thing I'd like to hear from
people. C'mon, if you guys can support freenet, can't you tell me about
your real-life experiences with it?
And yeah, I do know how to port map, but in my situation, I'm not
allowed to port map anything (yeah, i have a strange internet
arrangement - I don't control the NAT box).

Currently I am running freenet on an old P2 linux box permanently. The
memory is limited to 100mb, but as long as I do not use the fproxy
interface too much I can run a freenet node for more then 2 days. (at
least that was the case around one week ago.) The CPU usage is also
ok, I am not experiencing any problems which could be caused from an
overloaded CPU. The linux computer is behind a NAT router with port
forwarding set and has a extremly limited upload bandwith (7kb/s) and
a more moderatly set download bandwith (40kb/s right now thinking of
limiting to 20kb/s) because this way I am able to use the internet for
other things while running the freenet node the whole time. (the
bandwith limits are set in the config of the node - higher set upload
bandwith caused the whole internet access to be blocked sometimes -
using DSL). Currently the node gets around 1500 request/hour and
finishes around 4% (thats changing often, this is a better value) of
them. The node has a datastore of 25GB, which is completly used. Data
seems to last around 3 months in it(unaccessed), but that will depend
on how much I download. If I download not so much data it will last
longer. Currently I am having problems with RNFs despite more then 100
connections and a routing table of ~400 nodes (~300 node references),
but data finding is not bad as soon as a request can be made. (The
popular dbr sites can be fetched most of the time, only near the
rollover time I have sometimes problems which seems logical.) To the
usage: I am runing a second computer permanently for fuqid and frost,
but I use only a small amount of threads for requests. (normally
around 20 threads together)
So as you see it is really possible to use freenet with DSL and NAT.
