belief that I was improving my node's ability to retrieve stuff, because
I sometimes need to reboot.

Heh...yeah. I couldn't even get off my own node with the included seednodes.ref, even 
after I updated it with the ones from the www.hawk something-or-other site. I googled 
for more and added them to the refs file, and then suddenly I could get to a couple of 
the sites off the fproxy gateway page. From "The Freedom Engine" I think I've been 
able to reach four or five of the listed sites (definitely better results after 
running my node for a day). I was also able to get [EMAIL PROTECTED], but some smartass 
replaced it with porn and a note that said "KSK keys are insecure, mmmkay?" FunNEE. 
Also searched for the us constitution (one of the examples from the gateway page) and 
got a text document that said, simply, "kiss my ass." I successfully inserted some 
test documents -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] if anyone actually wants to try to 
find them, VERY boring content.  ;)

Thanks for sharing this!

Anytime! Hope it helps. I don't think that a reboot is _supposed_ to render the node 
clueless, but rather it simply takes so long for it to find other nodes and their 
neighbors that I figured (perhaps wrongly) that a maximum amount of "priming the pump" 
would help. For all I know, I'm the only working, semi-permanent node south of the 
Mason-Dixon line (2 way cable, IP changes occasionally but not often). Maybe if I were 
in Boston it would've found nodes all over the place.  :)  FWIW, the developer (forgot 
his name) with the "Da GJ" page said that he thinks an occasional reboot actually 
helps performance. 

I dunno what this means, but I am seeing a lot of these in the freenet.log file:

Jun 3, 2002 3:28:21 PM (freenet.interfaces.servlet.SingleHttpServletContainer, 
OThread+4): I/O error in servlet

Also, when I start to use the gateway, I get a bunch of these:

java.io.IOException: Broken pipe

        at freenet.thread.PThreadFactory$OThread.run(PThreadFactory.java:94)

On a semi-related note, I have not had _any_ success running the command-line 
FCPtools. I tried getting my own little text documents (which I know are on my own 
store, since I can snag them through fproxy almost instantaneously) and it fails after 
3 tries. ?  I have not yet tried running tcpdump to see what's happening during the 
attempt. 

Dumb question -- I see a file in my freenet directory called "store_27177" (same 
number as my node port). It's a little over 200 MB of unreadable data, and though the 
file size never seems to change, the modification time is always recent. I assume this 
is the data store? There are also a few files starting with "t" and a bunch of random 
characters, whose creation dates seem to jive with my fproxy access attempts. Are 
these part of the main data store, or are they simply some kind of local cache my node 
uses for my requests, or something else entirely? 

Thanks,
