[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1349
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1349 is now available. This is another attempt to fix announcement/opennet bootstrapping and Update Over Mandatory on old nodes (which appear to be flooding the announcement mechanism). The main changes include: - Give nodes more time to connect since it seems announcement can take some time to return the announced noderefs. - Process the announcement noderef transfers in parallel so we can return the noderefs as soon as possible, one won't get stuck behind another (note this was theoretically exploitable, no evidence it has been though). IMHO this is a likely reason for the problems we've been having - when I look at my main node, announcements come in and are handled and work fine; when I look at a new node trying to announce, or an old node trying to announce, the picture is radically different. And on the node handling an announcement, I frequently see that a node (especially an old node) gets announced and then never connects - so we can't send it the update package. - Accept TOO OLD peers a bit more often, while still respecting the limits set out in 1347: don't worry about the overall limit, related changes. Please upgrade ASAP! I have set a longish mandatory (the 17th), but IMHO this has a good chance of allowing old nodes to successfully announce and update, eliminating most of the load from old nodes announcing and failing to update, improve announcement generally, and hopefully get bootstrapping back to something like the fairly good performance we had for most of last year. Thanks! Please report any problems. Sorry for all the difficulties we've been having recently, there have been many reasons for these, but I hope we are getting a handle on them; certainly I have a better idea what's going on now... signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1348
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1348 is now available, please upgrade, it will be mandatory on Monday. This build fixes a bug in 1347 that caused us to reject all TOO OLD nodes, at announcement time, on the nodes it is announced to. They could still swamp the seednodes, and probably are still doing so. Hopefully the changes in 1347 and 1348 combined will result in old nodes being able to announce and update via Update Over Mandatory, and thus to stop spamming announcement, and hopefully that will result, in a few days, in significantly improved opennet bootstrapping performance. Please let us know how it goes.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1347
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1347 is now available. This build improves update over mandatory and related code. It appears that there are a significant number of nodes around build 1320 that are unable to update via UOM, and are constantly announcing as a result. Hopefully this will fix this. Amongst other changes it introduces a limit on the number of TOO OLD peers and makes the node stay connected to them as long as a viable UOM transfer is running. Please upgrade! Thanks. 1347 will be mandatory on Monday, but hopefully it will be possible to test the changes tomorrow. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1346
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1346 is now available. Please upgrade, it will be mandatory on Friday. Changes include: - Do not accept too-old opennet nodes as peers of seednodes in announcement. We won't be able to send the update to them because UOM doesn't work on seeds, and some versions around 1320 got severely broken when this happened. Hopefully some of them will now be able to upgrade via other peers, or at least more quickly, and thus will stop hammering the seednodes quite so much! - Better disconnection detection. We were thinking we are still connected sometimes when we were in fact disconnected and receiving some early auth packets but not the late ones (as with the above case). - Send keepalive messages more often. (Note that this has zero overhead on a typical busy node). - Fix a rare synchronization bug. Please upgrade, and let us know how Freenet goes!

Wikipedia. > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table#DHT_protocols_and_implementations That's not how Freenet works. Everything that is inserted in the global datastore is first encrypted and error correction is added, it also splits everything into 32K pieces each of which is inserted separately. Therefore it is impossible to search Freenet proper for DHT hash of the specific file. Because you only have pieces which are encrypted, and you don't know what they mean until you have enough of them and you have also the decryption key. Now if you do possess the decryption key, you could, on the Opennet, start connecting to people's nodes one at the time and send them requests for pieces that you know comprise that file. There's much more, maybe others will help you also. - volodya - -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast "None of us are free until all of us are free."~ Mihail Bakunin -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNU90oAAoJENW9VI+wmYasfIgH/3vlQUd2dg8ODm4f6SURDjfG /bDRwjNHnkRsWBvYAT8fTno8wDem++IPLWSBUGcU8IzCgfXKHTy9W/1ebhKJ2bQG QHBs4qOtSxGtgwi1wQ8SQweUkcp++16ViLxQm/waULIeDE8tfxSTT1aWdvV0fd+S Tz4dY7jjvPa/b6AQ0YABF8z7FMOBNGYcXTJrHDveGCQeTAuVcXMSUBbauiGq4VoS jqoinmr92f8BlhcVL/0pv9RmQkFbud51F2rflLes13aZ/nGwh4uT0kStz2fiZwHJ yJFcBVDhUnXnMQJSItSr7TbcrVSGkiUHaUzkuEh8kpaj+sE7hR/o3VhBLVHqX+4= =lUj2 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
[freenet-support] Question about freenet DHT
I am very new to freenet. I read wiki[1] and some doc saying that freenet implements dht protocol. I am going to learn something about dht based on freenet, so I have a few questions. 1st, is it possible for a node (supposed it is located in a data center) querying to know if other nodes contain a specific data/ doc (maybe search by e.g. file name)? So the node who issues the query can, for instance, do a simple counting, such as how many nodes currently holds the filename called license.txt. 2nd, what would the right place (in source code) to start checking the dht related stuff? I check out the source code but do not find dht related comment or function. Also, freenet wiki search returns `no matches for dht'. I appreciate any advice. Thank you. [1].
