[freenet-support] Failed downloads: unknown type

2011-01-18 Thread mad dog

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Apologies for my previous 'mad dog' identity; I sent from the wrong  
email address.

Thanks

'video/mpeg'.
I don't know exactly when the problem started; I don't *think* it
coincided with an update, but can't be sure. I'm currently running
version 0.7.5#1323 on OS X.
The problem wouldn't be so bad if I could just say, ok nevermind, and
force the browser to download it anyway, but instead I end up having
to jump through what sometimes feels like recursive hoops as I try
various combinations of Fetching the file, or restarting the
download (maybe disabling the content filter?) or Downloading the
file, or forcing the browser to open as a text file and so on and so
forth... it's complete circular nightmare. Sometimes opening as a text
file works, sometimes it doesn't... no idea why.
How can I tell my node about these file types?
Any idea why it lost this ability in the first place?

Are you trying to download to disk? If you go to your downloads page,
in the failed downloads section -- if you check the checkbox of the
failed download, and also make sure the disable content filter
checkbox is checked, then click the restart download button for that
download, does it not restart downloading?

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1331

2011-01-18 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1331 is now available. It is mandatory on Monday so please 
upgrade. This includes some major bugfixes, which may themselves include major 
bugs:
- Changes to the opennet path folding code, related to timeouts.
- Faster fatal timeout after accepted/rejected timeout. Fatal timeouts still 
don't do much except on darknet, and will be rewritten soon.
- New stats, split block transfer success rate and bwlimitDelayTime up by 
bulk/realtime (and show local too for the former).
- Major bugfix for bulk vs realtime block transfers: Realtime transfers are 
supposed to take priority, but not starve bulk transfers. This was not working 
- we were treating them exactly the same as bulk transfers. This is fixed, and 
we will allow a brief burst of realtime as long as it does not severely delay 
bulk transfers; otherwise we alternate between the two. This is new code, but 
the old fairness between bulk and realtime code wasn't used because of the 
first bug.
- Fix some fairly significant issues with connection setup dropping messages 
when it didn't need to, probably including on rekeying. This may have caused 
some timeouts.

Please upgrade, and *PLEASE REPORT ANY PROBLEMS YOU FIND*!

connection setup and timeouts.
