I have a similar machine with Win2K and dialup, and can't get anywhere. I'm not surprised that I can't retrieve much freesite content, although surprisingly I can get a fair number of Frost messages.
What baffled me is that I was unable to insert a small (1.9 meg) file with FUQID. After configuring so that FUQID connects to my client port correctly, it goes ahead and opens ten threads, but all the insert attempts with them fail and they keep retrying and failing again. I used to be able to insert easily, and I have retrieved 30 meg files running overnight. I'll try with some new seed nodes. The obvious thing to do is get a more modern machine and broadband. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aman Pervaiz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 11:50 AM Subject: RE: [freenet-support] Re: slowdom in freeville > Yup you are right.
