Hi everyone. I've been using the freenet for sometime now (not sure how long, 6 months or so I expect), but generally what I am able to do is keep my node running rather than publish freesites or even 'surf' (if the is the 'free' word to use...?) freesites.
I've got a 512/256kbps connection, and have set the freenet a 5 gig data store. I update the snapshot at least 4 times a week, and have a poke around the freenet now and again, as I don't really have enough time idle to play with it in any great depth. The main thing I want to add to the freenet at the moment is my node, in the hope that it will make the network faster for others and so help the uptake of the system. I do not have the funds to donate to the project, or the time to become a regular participant, but believe strongly in the ideals of the project and would like to help it take off. Recently my main concern has been that my 'load' has either been very low (5-15%) or very high (92-98%) for days on end, which I am not sure is a sign of a healthy node... (I don't claim much technical knowledge, I am more interested in the ethical side) So is there anything in particular I should be doing to help improve my nodes usefulness? Would it perhaps help if I were to dedicate more time to browsing freesites, therefore getting my node recognised by others, for example? Or should I just give all the bandwidth and data space possible? Any advice would be appreciated, as recently I have noticed that the network has been becoming less 'beginner-friendly' due to speed issues, which can of course not be a good thing, and I am keen to help in any way I can. Hope this is intelligable to all, English is not my first language... -- Best regards, pijakml mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
