[freenet-support] results w/527

2002-10-29 Thread Doug Bostrom
Pipe still saturates. I cut maxthreads to 40, then 20. Connections stayed at 45, 
pooled jobs at 98, java 
processes somewhere over 100. Load at 90+.

Bandwidth adjustments via freenet.conf have zero effect.

OTH, I don't see in the support thread that others are having the same issue with 
saturation of the actual net 
connection that I am. Is it possible I'm being messed w/ by my provider, Earthlink? 
They have essentially no 
stated limits on what I'm allowed to do with this connection as long as it's not 
openly illegal.

Any advice would be much appreciated. At this point I cannot run a node and maintain a 
connection to the net for 
any other purpose, and I sort of suspect the node is not working worth a s**t this way 
either.

You did use the up to date start-freenet.sh, or nice -n 10 it directly?
That should reduce the impact a lot.

Interesting. The bandwidth limiter is not working then?

 bleh...
 
 the fun starts.
Use the new start-freenet-sh, from the tarball. Or if in windoze, use
the new wininstaller.

Not as far as I can tell, or least very little. I have bandwidth set to 8k both ways, 
threads set to 20, and 
I'm showing something like 200 processes right just now and my connection is choked. 
I'll have to turn the node 
off to get this posting out. Very odd. In fact, it really does not seem to matter if I 
adjust anything to do 
with resources- the node instantly gobbles everything once it has announced. Yum-yum, 
burp, want more!

I don't think nicing will help, since I'm not using the box for anything else and all 
things being equal the 
threads presumably will be end up sharing system resources nicely.

Bear in mind that things _were_ working perfectly up until yesterday before The 
Posting. All the same, other 
than the node announcement chitchat storm (and judging from the comments I saw on 
Slashdot it's really hard to 
say how many actually managed to accomplish anything besides wiping out their own porn 
and music collections 
and then throwing tantrums when they were not instantly presented with infinite free 
goodies), I wonder if as 
Freenet becomes more popular the kind of traffic you're seeing now will be normal. 
Maybe these are the first 
symptoms of chronic leaching. The classic peer-peer networks essentially forced people 
to contribute if they 
wanted to participate, while Freenet does not and probably cannot because of routing 
issues.

Don't know, but only one thing to do, keep trying. As a US citizen I'm obligated to 
help offset the damage 
we've done by firewalling China...
