Is the Sun JVM on your path ahead of the GNU free jvm or whatever it is

Which is why we need to use native BigInt and FEC encoders to get

[freenet-support] inserting a freesite

2004-06-25 Thread Tracy R Reed
What are most people using to insert their freesites? I have been trying
to get a freesite inserted for ages with fiw 0.8 and not having much luck.
It is very slow going with lots of RNF's. I am using build 5084 (stable).

I've got fec-1.0.3.zip and I have unpacked it. I read the first link you
posted but it is far from clear. It says:

Well, that sounds easy. But install the correct native libraries where?
And which of the many files in that zipfile are the correct native
libraries?

Just for kicks I copied *.jar from /lib into the freenet dir and restarted
fred and still got the "Unable to find native library" messages. What did
I miss?

Actually, it is the result of a request. I've got frost running and

it started uploading stuff to be encoded.

When I try to upload a file to fred for encoding.

I have been trying for ages to get native FEC to work. Thanks for the
pointer to the Nubile website. It is the ONLY place on the entire net that
I have been able to find that actually documents how to set up native FEC!

I have copied fec-linux-x86.jar into the freenet dir, changed the
CLASSPATH, and set the freenet.conf as specified:

# Default FEC encoder implementation.
FEC.Encoders.0.class=NativeOnionFECEncoder
 
# Default FEC decoder implementation.
FEC.Decoders.0.class=NativeOnionFECDecoder
 
But when I start up freenet I get this:

 java.io.IOException: Couldn't get FECEncoder: OnionFEC_a_1_2
at freenet.client.FECTools.getEncoder(FECTools.java:643)
at freenet.client.FECTools.segmentFile(FECTools.java:166)

I have installed FEC 1.0.3. Does OnionFEC_a_1_2 indicate that it is
looking for 1.0.2? I can't find 1.0.2 for download on the onion website
anymore. It used to be in /fec/fec-1.0.2.zip as specified by the Nubile
page but no longer. Ah-ha...I found it in /developers/fec-1.0.2.zip. I
replaced the 1.0.3 fec-linux-x86.jar with the one from 1.0.2 and this
appears on the console:

Jan 29, 2003 10:55:51 PM (freenet.client.FECFactory, main): Couldn't load

This is driving me crazy. Any hints?

After having been out of freenet for a few weeks I decided to have another
look. The network itself seems to be working better than ever. I have had
very good success rates in accessing data.

Unfortunately, my fproxy also seems completely hosed. It is as if it is
single threaded or runs into deadlock sometimes. If I am retrieving a page
in fproxy in one browser window and try to hit the main fproxy page in
another window it won't work until I stop what the other fproxy is doing.
And after a few attempts to multitask with fproxy it seems to hang
altogether.

Thanks. My node is permanent, don't worry.

Yes, I am connected. I swiped a short node that was pasted to the IRC
channel which contained some potent nodes and added it to my nodes.config.
Suddenly my connectivity is MUCH better.

> Is it really bothering you that no one is connecting to your node?

No, but if there is something wrong with my configuration I would like to
know about it. In this case it looks like I got unlucky and never hooked
up with any good nodes. I suspect the old-style inform.php was much better
at this than the current one.

 I have 24M of stuff in cache. That's just freesites I've viewed

 And according to the logs nobody has ever connected except my

I can get a few things like the CofE and Leo's Freesite. But I can not

No idea. I'm not sure if that is really the problem. That's just my guess
from the logs I posted before. If I were showing up in inform.php it seems
people would be linking to me. Is it possible that there are so many
machines in inform.php and since inform.php is only regenerated so often
(to prevent node address harvesting) that my address just hasn't appeared
in it yet? It's been a week.

> Are you on Windows? Do you have one of those ZoneAlarm firewalls?

No. I'm on Linux. I'm running portsentry but I made sure that it wasn't
blocking anything octayne. I've run a node off and on for months now and
never had a problem before this upgrade.

I did that several days ago and every now and then I dump inform.php again
and add it to nodes.config just to get some more fresh nodes in there.

I thought 40 was pretty decent. I was recently told that anything over

it?

2001-06-13 Thread Tracy R Reed

I have been told that there is really nothing wrong here and that my
server just hasn't requested any popular or long lived keys so as to
establish refs with other servers and is thus "in the ghetto". I'm
requesting every key I can get my hands on, all of which end in error even
with HTL of 40. Yuck.

To the tune of "In the Ghetto" by Elvis Presley (freenet version):

As the bits fly

a poor little freenet node is born
in the ghetto
and his owner cries
cause if there's one thing that he don't need
it's an empty freenet node that has no speed

Coders, don't you understand

[freenet-support] I can't register with inform.php!

I installed 0.3.9.1 a few days ago and noticed that my node has received
absolutely no traffic other than myself. There is no way for sure to know
that I am not in inform.php but the fact that nobody else is talking to me
certainly suggests it. I turned on debugging, set the informDelay=5 and
fired up the node. 5 seconds after the node started I got this in the log:

www.octayne.com (standard informUrl) resolves to 195.8.71.92 so it looks
like that system intiated a connection back to me, a new connectionhandler
was set up, authentication was done, and then for some reason it failed to
