I just recently setup a node, and I'm trying to let it run for a while to give it a chance to spread its tendrils so to speak. I'm at the point now where it's had maybe 4-5 hours to run over my 3Mb cable connection and I'm STARTING to get a little responsiveness from the network.
Problem is, I want to leave it running for several hours to fully propagate itself, whatever, but it seems to be gobbling up a LOT of CPU power. Well, not the Freenet executable, but the java engine running it. That by itself wouldn't be a problem, but it seems to be making my computer crash. After leaving it running for 15 minutes or so, my computer will spontaneously crash/shut-down. I tried setting the CPU priority in the config tool to be below normal, I tried setting the process priority in Task Manager to be below normal for both the javaw.exe and freenet.exe processes, but it's still devouring over 90% of my CPU on average, and it's still crashing my system after 10-15 minutes. This really sucks, because it was just around NOW that things were starting to get interesting. The system I'm running it on is: Windows XP Pro, SP2 Athlon XP 1800+ 768 RAM 3Mb cable internet connection Windows Binary 5091 version of the Node Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_04 Can anybody help explain what's going on here and how I might fix it? I just recently installed SP 2 for XP, and I know that has a 10-connection limit for half-open TCPIP connections, and in the Freenet config utility, it says 200 connections, so I was thinking maybe that might have something to do with it. I actually changed that bit of my Windows configuration, as 10 is too low. The TCPIP stack I'm running now allows 50 half-open connections. That may still be too low, though, depending on just how Freenet's using TCPIP. So, is there anybody that knows anything about running a node on a SP2 version of WinXP Pro? Also, any advice for configuring things for optimum performance? I really have no idea how the Freenet network works under the hood, so I really don't have a clue how to tune things properly. Any good n00b resources available that I could look at? Any help appreciated. I love the Freenet concept, but it's still a little tech-heavy for me to grasp at this stage.
