As is true for all of us, I have limited bandwidth on my

That number is in bytes. How fast is your connection, exactly?
20kB/second is 160kbits/second. Oh, and you need separate upload and
download limits.
The exact contents of freenet.ini follow:
# The maximum number of bytes per second to transmit, totaled between
# incoming and outgoing connections. Ignored if either
# inputBandwidthLimit or outputBandwidthLiit is nonzero.
bandwidthLimit=20480
# If nonzero, specifies an independent limit for outgoing data only.
# (overrides bandwidthLimit if nonzero)
outputBandwidthLimit=0
inputBandwidthLimit=0
This indicates that
bandwidthLimit and ( outputBandwidthLimit, inputBandwidthLimit )
are mutuially exclusive options.
My DSL is 768kbdown, 256kbup. This comes out to about 75kB in
and 30kB out. 20480bytes a second is if anything, too small.
Unless the comments in the default .ini file are wrong! :(
Regardless, this doesn't address the question too many
packets maxing out the line.
But this isn't enough. I find that the biggest limitation
on my DSL is the raw number of packets being transferred.
Once a certain number of packets are being sent across the
line no more bandwidth can be sent. This frequently results
in the DSL line being maxed out even though the actual
bandwidth is no where near the max bytes per second.
My limit is # of packets, NOT NUMBER OF BYTES!
I've made the following changes in an attempt to have
fewer connections, thus fewer packets. freenet seems
to be a VERY chatty protocol.
maximumThreads=30
maxNodeConnections=15
rtMaxNodes=20
rtMaxRefs=20
This has helped some. Is there a better way?
My 'Local mean traffic' is down quite a bit as a
result of the above changes.
