When downloading through the regular Web my downloads typically run at 160 KB/sec.
I'm talking PER FILE. There may be many simultaneous transfers. The main
reason for this is that nodes typically run on ADSL, which typically has
a grand total of 16kB/sec uplink bandwidth, and they will normally be
transferring several files at once.
If you are downloading a page with a bunch of images on, it's not
unreasonable to expect 3kB/sec (once they get started) PER IMAGE, within
your available bandwidth. A splitfile uses 30 simultaneous connections
(or more) - 90kB/sec or more is not unheard of for large file downloads
on Freenet.
I'm wondering what the 'Node Bandwidth Limits' settings should be. The default
configuration has set '0' for each of the three settings. Does this, in fact, mean
no fixed limit (and should be left alone), or should I be setting 'Over All' to --
say -- 100 KB/sec, or 'Output' to -- say -- 40 KB/s and 'Input' to '60 KB/s'?
No. The real default is 12kB/sec IIRC. You probably don't need an input
limit.
Are there any other important setting for DSL?
Lastly, is my nodes list updated and saved automatically, or is there something I
should be doing to improve my nodes list?
It is saved automatically.
Thanks very much for the replies I have received.

PS. Things on FreeNet are a bit better today, but there sure appear to be a lot of
dead links. I've been trying to find some movies or MP3's to download, but haven't
succeeded thus far.
