Thanks. The comments in the freenet.conf file say that inputBandwidthLimit and outputBandwidthLimit are in units of bytes per second, not bits per second - is that incorrect?. I had inputBandwidthLimit at 0 (no limit), and outputBandwidthLimit at 20000, since I believe my cable output is limited at 512Kb(its)ps, corresponding to a theoretical maximum of 64KB(ytes)ps, and I wanted something left for other applications. There's room for increase there, so I'll try that. The mention in the comments that these were "independent" limits led me to infer that there was some some further overriding limit from which they were independent, but I'm going to revise my thinking to understand that they're simply independent of each other.
I'm not highly motivated right now to update the Java environment. So far I haven't had observable environment errors. The security issues I'm aware of involve violations of the security sandbox - a moot point with freenet - and a JVM crash/Dos, which I'll deal with when I see crashes. If you're aware of something more serious, please tell.

Wow, lots of pretty graphs . The numbers at the top of the report:
Connections open (Inbound/Outbound/Limit) 198 (132/66/200) Transfers active (Transmit/Receiving) 24 (13/11) Data waiting to be transferred 1,285 Bytes Total amount of data transferred 4,483 MiB

Double plus thank you! I can wait a couple weeks. I saw the claim that freenet could be competetive with bittorrent, and was worried that I'd botched something badly. I think I've been through about four of the FAQ pages, a couple of which have a subtextual hint that it may be quite a while before one's node is fully connected, but not much idea of the scale of "quite a while". Setting expectations is important.
