Sascha The way freenet is built noone can do a direct DoS attack within freenet. Whenever anyone is DosS:ing all of the nodes in freenet will share to load. I personally think that your log file looks just fine, it is completely normal for some connections to die now and then, it is also quite normal to see some errors like 'Unkown control byte' and such since development is ongoing the whole time and since internet is not always doing good things to the data transmitted over it.
As for the load issue, probably your node has become quite popular amongst the other nodes. This happens when you have a large datastore with popular data in it. The 'Too many ongoing connections' is a good sign of popularity, if you have the hardware for it you can increase the maximum number of threads your node is allowed to use, this will make your node able to handle (and make positive use of) more of the incoming connections. If you want to get rid of the load, you can try to shut down your node for a day or so. When you restart it again it will be quite a bit less popular due to its outage. Another possible reason for the overload might be that frost is trying to upload much of your shared files into freenet (because of the flood you mentioned). Will your load decrease if you shut down Frost for an hour or two? Btw, are you running the node properly nice:d? /N _______________________________________________ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
