Tried it out, and thusfar...it's crap.
Maybe (hope so) this is temporary, but it
definately works WAY worse then it used to. Actually, I almost don't get
anything exept RNF, DNF and other 'can't connect' messages.
I know it's maybe too early to tell, but what if
all the changes didn't do a thing (again) to improve Freenet? I mean...we could
be busy untill men land on mars and Bush becomes a saint (I would've said an
intelligent dude, but I want to keep it remotely possible).
If things don't work, and don't keep working, maybe
we should make a dramatic departure and throw away the concept of NGR and the
current bw/limiting shemes?
Maybe we just made it too complicated, and we
should revert or at least think about moving it to something more simple again,
akin to the classical routing?
Also, IMHO, one might implement something that
makes a node more keen on (more) rapidly using other nodes it
gets aware of, even if they seem - or are - 'less good' then the seednodes.
I think the seednodes.ref causes rather an all-to-long-remaining bottleneck when
contacting the network.
Maybe it will get (preferable much) better, and I
truelly hope so, but if it doesn't it has been yet another giant waste of time.
I mean, I'm sure there are lots of improvements, but if endusers don't see the
difference and still get a crappy working network, it's rather
pointless.
Maybe I'm just talking in a mood of dissapointment,
but, even as a fan of Freenet (or I wouldn't do what I'm doing), I'm getting
rather tired of all those months and even years of 'improvements' that just
don't seem to materialise into a better, faster Freenet. I've expressed my
opinion before: I think the only chance of actually getting somewhere, is by
creating a large, 'real-life' testnetwork where the actual workings can be
followed in detail. Toads' little network already showed some promise, but falls
far short of what is needed.
I can't but feel that, if we had done that a year
before, we would now be much further in the development and with a good chance
of having a working Freenet.
