Basing your evaluation of your node's performance on what's appearing and/or reachable via the main web interface is not a good idea. Most of the gateway sites have been horribly unreliable for quite some time now (with the exception of DFI). I really don't know why this is the case; I've had no trouble at all inserting DFI daily. To ensure that the next DBR update is inserted in time, I always start the update process (an automated, scheduled job) at least 1 1/2 hours prior to the rollover time (12:00 am GMT). I'm wondering if other gateway site maintainers are not allowing enough time in advance for their inserts to complete on time. DFI's insert got a little screwed up yesterday, due to the fact that I was in the process of running a portupgrade of my JDK under FreeBSD. Probably due to the additional load on the system from running the build, FIW somehow ended up inserting DFI one day further into the future than it was supposed to. I didn't discover this and finally get the problem corrected until about 8:30 pm CST (2:30 am GMT). I saw someone else here basing assumptions about their node's behavior on the fact that they couldn't reach YoYo! Unfortunately, Yoyo! is one of the more unreliable sites lately (no idea why). Anyway, the gist of the idea is this: don't assume that non-functioning gateway sites mean your node is not working. -- Conrad Sabatier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "In Unix veritas" _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
