Your local node needs to integrate into the network at large before your performance will be acceptable. This can take upwards of several days if you've never been on the network before. If you can afford it, leave Freenet running 24/7 for at least a day straight. You should begin to see the activelink images on the main Web Interface page show up after this period, and you will be more likely to retrieve something when you click one of the activelinks. The longer you leave Freenet running, the more integrated you become into the network, and the better your chance at retrieving any particular random file. Depending on your internet situation, if you can accept incoming connections, you will be better off. If you're stuck behind a firewall that you can't punch any holes through, and can only make outgoing connections to other nodes, your performance will be slower. Check the "Open Connections" page on your node's Web Interface every now and then to see whether or not you've got incoming connections. hth -s _______________________________________________ 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]
