Restarted freenet last night.  Slow to make contacts but by an hour later
62 were open and freenet seemed to be behaving nicely together with SETI
running. CPU at 100% but behavior was what I now call "normal."

At about noon today I checked and data transferred was many megs and
messages were at about 15,000 on two most active connections.  Checked mail
and came back about an hour later to find that SETI had transmitted results
and was "not" maximized any longer.  Then I realized that system seemed
inactive.  ISP had closed connection and I had some difficulty getting
anything to respond.  Finally after right click on rabbit in tray, I was
able to open popup window and stopped freenet.  Few things started to show
apparent activity and I could then maximize SETI and it had completed about
6% of a job after sending and bringing down a new job.

I then reconnected and restarted freenet and function seemed to return.  I
checked the log and it showed a very long segment of failures.  (Log was at
about 2.5 megs.)  Errors continued abundantly as I expected since contact
had been lost from other nodes for some time.  Shut down.  (To do other
work.)  About three hours later I tried to restart, but experience little
success.  Log hung when I tried to work back through the log (problem
here?).  Finally shut down OS and restarted.

The apparent hang from shut down of ISP connection I had not observed
before (not to say that I actually know it never did).  Is this common? 
Will freenet do this when only it is producing high CPU usage or could it
be because two programs were trying to work at maximum level (SETI &
freenet)?  Should freenet not detect loss of internet connection and not go
blindly on with unsuccessful high usage?  I would think that when finally
operating this should not be allowed to happen as ISP closure would
certainly not be uncommon with large numbers of nodes running (even if it
only happens with multiple high demands on CPU).

Recently checked thread usage and seems seldom to go beyond 700 even when
system very busy.

Oh,  2KWin and Sun Java (recent).  256 memory.  Dial up connection.  ~18.6
hard drives capacity each of two(C: pretty high, about 1.5 gig open, D:
with about 4-5 gig open).  What else important?
