I count two other comments on the freenet board in frost that corroborate my present experience w/ 525. Again, this is the version I'm using:
Version Information Node Version 0.5 Protocol Version 1.46 Build Number 525 CVS Revision 1.85.2.3 By 'working fine' I mean that I can, with surprising alacrity, access freesites, use frost, insert files. I also notice that my incoming requests are steady anbd the 'load' is minimal: # unique contacts: 95, active connections: 1 # format: <contact attempts> <successful> <active connections> <address> # 348 348 0 tcp/209.210.55.3 302 302 0 tcp/217.0.226.111 292 292 0 tcp/12.231.53.84 285 285 0 tcp/217.0.226.33 198 198 0 tcp/143.248.234.149 197 197 0 tcp/130.234.180.63 150 150 0 tcp/209.221.197.10 150 150 0 tcp/213.208.109.228 124 124 0 tcp/213.139.166.100 ...etc. also: Uptime: 1 day, 20 hours, 7 minutes Current routingTime: 0ms. Active pooled jobs: 6 (5.0%) Current estimated load: 5.0%. 1.6 gig store with 6066 files. I'm definitely deferring to your authority here. should I upgrade? I hope only that this info is helpful to you. thanks!
