That is why it is dangerous. They can request or insert files, as a
client. Not as a node. Unencrypted, and without the paranoia that is
written into the node for FNP connections.

What did you set it to? It does work for many users. If it's below some
value it won't work; there is some indication that it doesn't work if
it's above some value also. It's measured in bytes per second (not bits
per second). Suggest you send us your freenet.ini.
