The Freenet Ebuild has it's own function to update Fred, but it isn't smart enough to download the right seed refs to unstable, and I've been too lazy to hack the ebuild, download manually, or make a bug report. LOL. I don't understand why there seems to be so much interaction between the two networks, it actually seems to me that there is only one network. Wouldn't it just take one node from stable finding an unstable node to completely link the two? They use the same protocol now, and it seems that nodes from the two networks would be 'introduced' to eachother. Anyway, I'm going to follow everyone's advice and switch to the unstable network.

Re: [freenet-support] long running node
I have had the same experience. After the node has been running for a long period of time it seems tolose energy. A restart does refresh it.

[freenet-support] long running node
contrary to everything in freenet's documentation, I have better luck retrieving with a freshly started/reseeded node than one that has been running for a while. I run a permanent node on linux, 1.3 gigahertz athlon, 384 megs of ram, 1 gig of freenet storage, 1.5MB dsl connection. (stable net) I've been wondering if it could be caused by the fact that most of the connections to my node are incoming. Are incoming connections from transient nodes used to route requests, or are they just leeching? If transient incoming connections are leech only, that would make it very difficult for permanent nodes to enjoy freenet. Has anyone else had a similar experience? ___ 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]
