I run freenet niced at +10 on a 2x500MHz computer, load stays at 2-3 all the time. I suspect the problem you have lies in the fact that freenet will eat ALL available bandwidth that you give it, which will lead to starvation, so adjust the following settings: inputBandwidthLimit= <Your input limit> outputBandwidthLimit= <Your output limit> Its in bytes/s. You should not allocate your whole bandwidth to freenet, leave at least some 10% to other traffic. You could also limit the threads used by adjusting the maximumThreads setting. - -- Roger Oksanen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> +358 50 355 1990 CS Student at Helsinki University PGP id 1B125A3E Homepage http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/raoksane/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA+8CV78OZUBsSWj4RAmrtAJ9hcwJfIScktZbf224djNidhETolACgk/AY 2D594laB1rVZI7oOlwGm1ug= =5ffn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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]
