1. Newsbyte: keep stirring things up. I find it helpful. 2. With respect I don't think you can both a) claim to be installing like a novice user and b) insist on keeping your existing Java install to be used and recognised. IMO the average novice user will choose the full install with Java and that will work. I'm assuming you have Java 5 (still in beta). I'm sure the Windows installer will be updated soon, and Java 5 hasn't been out that long... 3.

Someone [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Niklas schrieb: Can you put them on a web server or so? I would like to see what kind of error that caused the index file corruption. /N I disabled the index some months ago, because it got corrupt whenever I killed the java process while it refreshed the index. Seems like windows doesn't give it enough time to finish the current jobs when you kill it by the taskmanager. This also kills my routing table from time to time, so I have to backup it on a regular basis. Maybe the node should have some type of button on the fproxy page to do a clean shutdown. FWIW: Nothing unusual preceded the data store index going bye bye. I never terminated Java or the task. I always shutdown from the bunny. It always had plenty of time to shutdown. There were no power failures (there have been in the past but this never damaged the data store). Having said that, the only unusual data points would be a) my node had been up for a record 11 days. Noticed memory consumption was up to 200+ MB (which is higher than I've seen for a very long time with recent nodes). No OOM - I allocate 256 Mb - but it seemed unusual, so I restarted then. I don't know if the problem happened thereafter, but memory remains around the 200 Mb in normal operations now - my guess is that's correlated by the number of keys, or somehow associated with my increasing data store size but I have no idea. b) I did shutdown the node almost immediately on startup - it's in the startup group, and I really needed all the bandwidth for downloadinmg patches - so I shut it down before it had finished starting up. I've doen that before too, but it could have been a timing issue. If that's at all helpful. ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[freenet-support] Data store wiped - 11 Gb gone.
On checking the environment I see my data store was wiped. Down from 11+ Gb when I lasted check to less than 700 Mb. I haven't looked at the logs because I don't know if anyone cares, and I wouldn't know what to look for. But I'd be happy to do so if anyone has an interest in this and wants to tell me what to look for. My guess would be the data store was completely wiped to zero, which means it's probably been refilling for about a day. The even that corresponds with that approximate timeframe would be my LAN losing its internet connection for 30 minutes, and being restored with a new IP address. I'm sad to lose my 11 Gb which I've been nursing along since July. Is this to be expected? Or is it a problem, but there are bigger problems to worry about?

Ok, forgive me if this has been discussed before (and please point me to this discussion), but I've been wondering what are realistic expectations of speed? There is a set of nodes, hoepfully well connected, but all with finite bandwidth connections. There is some data I'd likem to retrieve, located (hopefully) at one or more nodes in a set of finite sized datastores. It seems NG Routing was introduced to help mediate what I'd over-simplify as people trying to pull out more than they put in. So this prompts my borader question: we're pooling bandwidth and data storage in a large, cryptographically securish network. We're expecting a certain performance from that network. What sort of speed do we expect from that network? If the collective data stores are too small, and the collective bandwidths too limited, then won't we see limited transfers? (Forgive me if this states the obvious). Are we not seeing lightening speeds simply because Freenet as a whole is underresourced. That maybe this is as good as it gets without more nodes with more resources? Has anyone done any modelling? Any ideas? Any comments? What is a reasonable expectation of Freenet performance right now? Any way to tell? Lower or upper bounds? I for one am very happy with what Freenet delivers and see it getting better steadily albeit with occasional missteps. But my expectations may be unreasonably low. I request information and shortly thereafter it arrives (or often immediately) and in what I'm lead to believe is a relative anonymous way.

Do we STILL get that bug? Or does it just fail? I apologise for being sloppy in my use of terminology. fproxy seems to perform as I imagine it is designed to. That is it will fail when it cannot retrieve sufficient blocks to make up a file. What makes it possible to retrieve a file with FUQUID when it become impossible with fproxy is a) once a block is retrieved with FUQUID it is permanently retained. If I restart a fproxy retrieval it has to start again. And I have seen, after restarting immediatly after a failure, failing to retrieve multiple blocks I had previously retrieved. In fact sequential attempts to retrieve would result in lower percentages of the file retrieved. And sometimes the intersection of common blocks would be quite low. Most disheartening. b) As I have commented previously I often see a request not found now will be found some x minutes later. So FUQUID, by continual retries over many hours can eventually see all the blocks within retrievable range. Further I configure FUQUID to try all blocks, even after it has passed the point of being unable to build the whole file because I believe it will help bring those blocks into range on the next past. So as I said I have no expectation of changes in fproxy. I don't expect to have fproxy try again and again hour after hour. And I don't expect it to stroe away the blocks it has retrieved to date. So be encouraged. You're not just creating an anonymous slow file-sharer. You know and I know that Freenet is being used for good purposes now and I can see lots of potential for the future. Is it? Very few. Maybe few in number but great in worthiness. I think. The problem with a privacy project is that many people will not choose to disclose how they are using it for privacy. :-) And we're still only on version 0.5. So be encouraged. Hmmm, better to go cut you a cheque I guess I *am* concerned when you express great surprise that Freenet will work at all on a 768/256 connection. (That was my take on it). I get the impression that you expect Freenet to require an academic university level of bandwidth to function appropriately. Maybe that's the state the project is at now, or heading to.

The comments in the freenet.conf file say that inputBandwidthLimit and outputBandwidthLimit are in units of bytes per second, not bits per second - is that incorrect?. No, bytes per second is correct. Those figures are based on when you said you had a 200Mbit (sic). Sadly for you your connection seems to have dropped to 512Kb. :-) Sorry for taking you at your word. I'm used to envying other people's bandwidth... I had inputBandwidthLimit at 0 (no limit), and outputBandwidthLimit at 2, since I believe my cable output is limited at 512Kb(its)ps, corresponding to a theoretical maximum of 64KB(ytes)ps, and I wanted something left for other applications. There's room for increase there, so I'll try that. The mention in the comments that these were independent limits led me to infer that there was some some further overriding limit from which they were independent, but I'm going to revise my thinking to understand that they're simply independent of each other. There's lots of cool stuff with averaging limits, and immediate limits, and gradual adjustment. Together with incoming being not directly under control. It works very well for those of us with monthly bandwidth caps. It is my opinion that a node works [much!] better if it doesn't have the inputBandwidthLimit set at 0, but at a realistic value. That is based on month long tests but only on my own (128Kbit) node. From the little I can pick up as to how cooperative bandwidth limiting might work it makes sense to me theoretically as well. So if it was my node I'd have: inputBandwidthLimit=24000 outputBandwidthLimit=24000 (and if I was going away for a weekend or more I'd crank them both up to 48000 if no one else was using the bandwidth). I'm not highly motivated right now to update the Java environment. So far I haven't had observable environment errors. The security issues I'm aware of involve violations of the security sandbox - a moot point with freenet - and a JVM crash/Dos, which I'll deal with when I see crashes. If you're aware of something more serious, please tell. Nope. I'd agree with all your comments. What does FRED have to say for itself? http://127.0.0.1:/servlet/nodeinfo/networking/ocm Wow, lots of pretty graphs . The numbers at the top of the report: Very pretty. They don't mean much to me so I go for the Classic look of Connections, and More Details if I'm browsing.

That's exactly what I'd expect to see after say 2 days uptime? My personal experience (counts for very little) is that it took 9 days to become better connected - then suddenyl everything started working beautifully. Double plus thank you! I can wait a couple weeks. I saw the claim that freenet could be competetive with bittorrent, and was worried that I'd botched something badly. I think I've been through about four of the FAQ pages, a couple of which have a subtextual hint that it may be quite a while before one's node is fully connected, but not much idea of the scale of quite a while. Setting expectations is important. Bittorrent rocks. But it will always max out my connection. Freenet easily outperformed Shareaza/Kazaa in my one test. BUT..a big BUT... this was a movie file that CofE mentioned (and linked to) in his flog as a file he downloaded as a test. I'm guessing there would be many people like me who also downloaded the file as a test. Which would mean that Freenet, if operating as designed, would replicate more and more of this data throughout the network (a reverse Slashdot effect). That would certainly be consistent with my observations. And just to expose my complete Freebieness (a freenet newbie and I've only recently picked up that term recently), I had always done my downloading through the built in FRED interface. Ok, nice for built in, but now I do all my (few) downloads through Fuqid. What a difference. Haven't looked at anything equivalent for Linux.

It's probably just my low bandwidth, but I find that I will request something (and this includes web pages) and it's not there, and then 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour, 8 hours later it's there. My assumption has always been that my requests go out in an ever widening circle off to where the data I want may be found, but my request timesout before it gets back to me.

But I throw them out anyway. I watch (with envy) discussions on bandwidth and pricing and (sadly) I think the world is moving more to caps (monthly limits) rather than open. It certainly is in Oz and NZ. Indeed. And I notice the whining of people in the US when their providers move them on to similar capped plans. Maybe the competition is strong enough to mitigate that, but bandwidth ain't cheap and simple economics seems the way to stop the leeches. I see it as a growing trend. But that's just my view. Wish it would trend the other way. There is sadly no priority in it ATM. To help one user run a node in a wierd situation... hmm. I'll think about it. Absolutely. You set the priorities. I have no expectations that anything would be done about it. Mostly I have a questions, which I think is still unanswered: How will a node respond if one set of connections has a high bandwidth cap and another set of connections has a low bandwidth cap (assuming these caps are applied externally). Does the node give its average recommendation on retry intervals and load to ALL the connections? Will the high bandwidth connections figure out this is a good node to deal with, even if I'm sending out a retry interval based on averages. Put another way: does freenet assume all my outgoing and incoming connections have equal bandwidth throughput? Does that affect routing in a suboptimal way? Depending on your answers I may have other questions such as should I run two nodes - one for high bandwidth only and one for low bandwidth? Blocking connections from the wrong connection set? Or just what should I think of doing in these cases? Finally I'll just politely take issue with one user in a weird situation. I don't think the situation is as weird as you might think. And it ain't just one user. I appreciate that it still won't be enough to be a priority. I didn't expect that. But it may be as you work on infrastructure and future changes you may give a little thought to how a few small changes in plans may make it better for us in a weird situation. ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Phillip Hutchings [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What would be nice (in lieu of being able to prefer certain IP ranges - I get local traffic far cheaper) would be a way to limit monthly transfer, eg set it so the node can use 5GB/month, and it'll aim for a daily transfer of about 170MB, but will go over if it needs to. I guess this would also mean that the size of incoming files would need to be limited. Unfortunately I can't try to hack this myself just yet, but I have some free time coming up, so I might look at it then, see if I can find where to do the limiting. I knew Java knowledge would come in handy :P So for now my node is offline. I've lowered my rate limiting to 500 bytes/sec to keep things under control, but I'm waiting for my ISPs traffic information to come back online... Toad: feel free to comment on point 3: Phillip, since we're in the same country with similar issues, I'd like to share my thoughts and see where we can go with this. Feel free to email me directly. 1. My experience is that I can get a limit of 5 Gb of *international* traffic a month (170 Mb a day) with Node bandwidth limits of Overall 0 Output 750 Input 0 Yup, a limit of 750 bytes per second. I need to experiment more with the Overall setting. Freenet is the single most effective utility I have found for consuming bandwidth. Better than BitTorrent. When the bandwidth level drops this low I get a lot of what I characterise as churn. The messageSendTimeRequest shoots up - I guess because messages can't get out fast enough through the small output channel. So then my node rejects incoming connections, but it's still sending outgoing requests (albeit slowly) so I'm rejecting these replies to my requests because my messageSendTimeRequest is so high. I suspect a lot of things get retried. I suspect my efficiency is low. But it works, and keeps me in the bandwidth cap. 2. I really suspect that more serious bandwidth limiting should be done at an operating system (router) level rather than at the Freenet level. I suspect that's what you'll be told around here. That way you can also take account of things happening other than your node. :-) So I've been working towards a Linux traffic shaper that gives sets no limits on traffic with domestic IP addresses and limits international traffic so the total monthly limit hits 5 Gb (my cap). 3. What I don't know is how my Freenet node will respond when some (domestic) IPs get a high bandwidth (8,000 k/s) and other (international) IPs get a low bandwidth (0.75 k/s). I guess my node will always give a constant recommendation for how much traffic it wants, and this will oscillate wildly according to how many domestic versus international nodes are connecting. I'm *hoping* domestic nodes will learn that it is worthwhile connecting to me, but they may be put off by the average they get. I don't know. Someday when Toad is bored maybe he could put his fine mind to at least thinking about the impacts of this bandwidth disparity and how a node configuration could be set to handle this. It may be that this scenario ( maix of low and high bandwidth channels into a node) is relatively uncommon worldwide, and isn't worth coding for, but I wonder how common it is, and whether it may become more common.

Phillip Hutchings [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: One thing that I can think of is limiting the size of incoming files not requested by the node directly - stop splitfiles and things going through. I'm more interested in the information, not movies, but I can't think of a tidy way to implement this in a few minutes. I know it's not really in line with the freenet ideal, and also it could compromise privacy, but it's a thought. So you not only don't want to store large files in your data store - you don't want to relay them either? It should be easy enough to stop such files being stored in your data store - according to freenet.ini it doesn't store files larger than 1/100th of the size of your datastore, in your datastore. That 1/100 calculation would be easy to find and tweak so you don't store files of 1 Mb (and these days all the large files I see are in chunks of 1,026 Kb). The question is whether you can identify whether incoming data is part of an incoming 1 Mb message bfore you accept it. My guess, only a guess, is yes. I would think that information as opposed to files would normally be under 1 Mb. For my part I'd like to contribute as much bandwidth to Freenet as a whole, but when in a capped triage situation I certainly understand wanting to prioritise traffic. ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Freenet needs to know what the limit is even if you use external limiting. Fair enough. But given shared bandwidth needs shouldn't a node adapt. How quickly (if at all) does a node adapt to having less bandwidth than is specified in the limits? How well does that work? So I've been working towards a Linux traffic shaper that gives sets no limits on traffic with domestic IP addresses and limits international traffic so the total monthly limit hits 5 Gb (my cap). HOW do you determine what is local? Freenet could maybe support this. A list of IP blocks in CIDR notation. Which in turn is derived from http://ftp.apnic.net/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-20040106 a href=http://ftp.apnic.net/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-20040106;a periodically updated list/a - picking out my country gives my domestic (zero bandwidth cost) IPs. Are you in Spain by any chance? The last poster on this topic was.. New Zealand. (Bang goes my anonymity). I think people (I use the word loosely) from Australia would have similar issues. And Spain. I watch (with envy) discussions on bandwidth and pricing and (sadly) I think the world is moving more to caps (monthly limits) rather than open. So I think that this is an area that Freenet should address at some time. I'm biased of course. I'm also willing to help since I think you've commented that you lack develoeprs living in a low bandwidth capped environment.

TLD [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Is message send time a problem? I mean, AFAIK freenet is able to recognize links with higher latency and use them as little as possible, thus reducing the outbound traffic over those links in favour of local (=not-so-limited) nodes. I think message send time IS a problem, but only by observation. And my observation is that when messagesendtime goes up over 1000 ms my node starts rejecting most incoming connections and at 2000ms basically blocks everything until things settle down. I think this may be a separate issue from lower level latency. In any event, consider my node which has 10 connections which I'm happy to run at a shared 256 kbps and 40 connections which I (financially) need to cap at a shared 0.75 kbps. What my node seems to do now is look at my total message send time, and stop all incoming requests. Or to put another way, how does a node cope with connections with orders of magnitude differences in bandwidth? Not very well is my observation. The other two possibilities, namely lower bandwidth for all and an add-on to fred, look uninviting: the first because it's just sub-optimal, the second because both it requires much work on fred (to implement the different bandwidth levels and to test them -- how many nodes would benefit from that?) and, for those who need the feature, does not significantly reduce the amount of configuration work (compared to a QOS system). Please correct me if I'm wrong! :) Well I was thinking any management would have to be external to Fred but Toad at least seems to consider the possibility. I guess I'd like to see two channels. The other thing I've thought about is running two nodes - with a shared datastore. One only talks to high bandwidth domestic IPs and the other only talks to low bandwidth IPs. I'm nto sure if that is a good or bad idea. Oh and Toad if you are listening: rather than a humongous CIDR list of IP blocks, I'd also be quite happy with a DNS query like 1.0.0.127.zz.countries.nerd.dk which returns a number code for a country. Cheaper and nastier, but given the relatively small number of domestic IP addresses contacting me as a Freenet node (versus a list of all possible IP addresses) it may be easier to implement. It does make use of a third party service, but if the fallback position is to assume it's a high bandwidth cost IP, it's of no harm if it fails and may do some good. ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please let me know if you need further information. Until this is fixed in order to get my node running I'll need to manually edit freenet.ini and I don't know how to enable the "Serious geeks Only" setting: "Allow changes to No address, Port and Availability settings" and to disable "Automatic IP address detection".
