RE: [freenet-support] Problems with Freenet: from a windows perspective.

Well, I HAVE bumped into the half-open connection limit once or twice.
Mostly it's an issue for people using P2P clients, edonkey, overnet,
etc...  It's easy enough to fix anway.

I did some reading on the subject, and the recommendation I got was to
manually change the config file to have TransientNode=False in it.
Apparently Freenet won't integrate into the network as well if you're
set to transient.  In the process of testing it now.  I'll know better
in a day or so.

 Subject: [freenet-support] Problems with Freenet: from a 
 windows perspective.
 
 
   I recently installed a new node from scratch on a 
 Windows XP SP2 box, 
 and here are my observations.
 
   While there's lots of talk about SP2 limiting TCP 
 connections, I 
 haven't see any real issues with it.
 
   On the negative side, freenet-java-webinstall.exe is 
 configured to 
 install Sun JRE 1.4.1, when I believe it should install 1.4.2.
 
   After 5 hours of uptime I only have 72 open 
 connections.  This was a 
 problem I experienced on my linux based node too; either the 
 seednodes.ref file is inadequate (weighing in at 26mB!) or 
 Freenet 5091 
 isn't aggressive enough about meeting maxNodeConnections.
 
   I would also like to point out that I'm currently only 
 using ~50% of 
 my upstream bandwidth, based on frequent observation of the General 
 Information page.  Perhaps Freenet should be more apt to take 
 advantage of newbie nodes?
 
   If there's any other information that would be of 
 assistance, please 
 let me know.

Transient isn't that relevant anymore; the current build in CVS has all 
traces of the Transient property removed.

So you won't notice much of a difference using this property on stable 
(build 5091).
