You are correct in the assumption. Freenet 0.6 will have bidi 
connections, allowing all nodes to route. Imho this feature is one of 
the killer features currently on unstable-net. Stay tuned for the 0.6 
release ;)

This is an interesting comment.  Could this really  be why we are getting
little response in last few months?

 Subject: [freenet-support] Permanent node question

 I run a permanent node on stable, and I notice that after it has been
running 
 for a while the vast majority of connections are incoming.  This leads me
to 
 believe that the vast majority of nodes I'm connected to are transient. 
I 
 wonder if this is why I have so much trouble retrieving after my node has 
 been running for a while.  (transient nodes don't route my requests
right?)

 Couldn't this be a big source of routing trouble in freenet?  If the vast 
 majority of nodes aren't contributing to the network, then even permanent 
 nodes won't be able to find much (since they are bogged down by
transients). 

 I would like at least a third of my connections to be made to permanent
nodes.  
 any suggestions for making this happen?  

 Someone please correct me if I have this all wrong.
