>1. First I get "Waiting for, etc". The search is fanning out, but either I'm queued, or nothing has yet >been found? Your request has gone out, your node is waiting for an answer from the network (to deliver it to your browser)
>2. Brief bursts of, "Transferring data, etc", then back to "Waiting...". Data was found at some node, and delivered. Then the search continued? Your browser received an answer from freenet, succesful or not, and then started requestin the next item on the page. Number of simultaneuos browser requests can be configured, the exact method varies from browser to browser. >3. Long periods of "Waiting...". Data has been found, and I'm queued? Either your browser is serializing requests of your node are waiting for an answer from the network. >4. Some image icons get a 'white slash' through them. The data doesn't exist at any of the >available nodes? Almost.. The data couldn't be located on any of the nodes queried.. Might be the same thing, might not.. >5. During long intervals of "Transferring...", a small nibble disappears near >the lower left corner of some of the image icons, one by one. The search for the data >linked to this particular icon has been exhausted; this image data is not available? No idea what those nibbles are.. >6. After a long period (an hour, or more), I get "Done". Perhaps a dozen poster images >have been received, but, when the nibble is missing from every remaining image icon, >the search for any data related to this freesite is over? Right >7. How does the 'nibble' differ from the 'white slash'? Depending on the browser the white slash might broken image/image which isn't present on the supplied URL/request timeout.. The nibble I don't know anything about.. >8. Should one be patient enought to let freenet run at a site until "Done" is >reported, or is it a waste of time (and freenet resources) to let the search go on for >longer than, say, a minute? Ten minutes? An hour? No.. There are built-in timeouts and stuff so those things will work out automatically. >9. Tomorrow, different nodes (and a new build - I'm using 5049 today) may be available, >so the attempt to download the poster page could be repeated, with perhaps a different result. Right.. And maybe the author of the site reinserted missing stuff or maybe a different set of nodes reqceived the query _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support
