i run my T1 ( win xp ) behind a DI-604 router/firewall. intially freenet works fine in a transient node, getting me speed up to 500kb's, 125 kb's on average. im not complaining but then i began to think, what if my firewall is keeping me from unprecedented speeds? so i did the configuration within my firewall settings, and the freenet.ini file , being sure to remove the "%" sign before the IP address. after doing so, freenet connected fine, but my connection speed dropped down to 100kb's. obviously not better if no change at all. so then i hear that if i run a permanent node i can get better speeds ( and better anonymitity? ). to get to my point, i cant figure out how to make my computer a permanent node. either configuration ( defualt, router ) hasnt enabled permanent node, so what do i do now to become one?

also, does an increased number of splitfile threads mean more efficient downloading?


thanks.
