Re: [freenet-support] RE: trouble getting any information

2004-07-03 Thread Dave
freenet.exe appears on the process list, but this is just the systray app -
to kill the freenet node process you would need to kill the javaw.exe
process which spawns it (which shows up in the process list as just
javaw.exe).   Having said that, I can't remember what happens if you kill
javaw.exe but not freenet.exe -  i believe freenet.exe pops up a flashing
exclamation mark and says Freenet Is Having Problems (which I guess is
true).

You shouldn't need to kill freenet.exe, ever, as essentially it's doing very
little indeed.  Even the logfile viewer bugs have disappeared :-)

FWIW I've also seen v. high cpu usage if i remove my internet connection -
the problem seems to get worse the longer the internet connection is
unavailable, which doesn't seem healthy.  I get lots of "AARGH! Couldn't
send some kind of backoff message" logs in my logfile, sorry I can't
remember the exact text but I'm sure the java dev knows what I mean here...

Re: [freenet-support] RE: trouble getting any information

2004-07-03 Thread Nicholas Sturm

Apart from describing the behavior, the point I was trying to make was 
that if this happens when the system is in general operation, many may 
be affected by freezing of the system -- particularly if ISPs become 
even more accustomed to doing it -- because those who have a frozen 
system every morning will likely be inclined not to support nodes except 
perhaps in the transient state.  And then integration into the system 
for access to information will be unlikely to be very popular.  IF the 
node freed itself when there is no active Internet link, i.e., when into 
a paused state to avoid freezing, it might remain more useful as a 
communication medium.  Even better perhaps would be a timed pause with a 
reconnection after a moderate
pause period -- 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 30 minutes, say. 
?   It does seem like a potential problem.
   

Well, I don't see why the node would cause a general hang. And in fact,
I'd expect that the node's high CPU usage would go away quite quickly
in the absence of an internet connection, given all the backoff...
evidently this doesn't happen. Any idea why? What does it show on the
Environment page when in this state?
 

The second day that it occurred, I was quite unable to evaluate the 
system as  I had to kill javaw and freenet
to get loose from the state.  Ctr-Alt-Del finally interrupted, but that 
only got me to the Windows Security
window where I could shutdown processes or the system (Freeenet does not 
show on the Applications list).

This very tight loop was a new phenomenon.  I could see some of the log 
the first time, but system hung as
I tried to buckup very far in the log.  I'll give it another try tonight 
and see if I can save the log for you.  Which

How long after installation? A CPU usage spike is normal for the first
half hour or so after startup...

Re: [freenet-support] Difference between Connection Attempts andRequests.

Thanks.

An inbound connection attempt is when a node contacts your node.  An
outbound connection attempt is when your node contacts another node.
In both cases, after a successful connection, requests can be made, either
by your node or by the other node.
So for example, an inbound requests implies a connection between your node
and the other node, but doesn't imply which way that connection was set up -
your node could contact another node, and then after successful connection
the other node could make a request to your node:  that would be one
OUTBOUND connection and one INBOUND request.  Similarly, a node could
contact your node, and then make a request:  that would be one INBOUND
connection and one INBOUND request.  Similarly for outbound requests, where
your node initiates a request to a connected node.
One connection persists for as many requests are made to/from the connected
node - so one connection (inbound OR outbound) can have many inbound and
outbound requests.
hope that helps...
Thanks that's very helpful.
