I shut down my freenet node today after a little less than a week of its running. The main reasons are low speed and resource hog-geness. I read the other day that after at least two days, the speed of freenet gets to normal. However, after almost one week the speed was still pretty low on my end (on a 2M/512k broadband connection), with quite a few DNF and such, which rendered the whole thing virtually non-useful. I did not change any of the default settings, though. Also, it seems like the freenet was messing my emule & torrent connections which started behaving strangely (low ids on emule out of the blue, plus extremely low DL's on both emule and torrent). But the listening port of my freenet node was nowhere near the emule's and torrent's ports. As for the resource hog part, I guess I have to get some extra RAM (I have 512 MB now), java isn't really my big friend when it comes to this. ;)
I could use some advice on how to remedy the situation with slowness and peaceful co-existence with p2p applications as mentioned before. Just one last thing... the anonymity part isn't really working here. I mean, one can still see the IP's and possibly resolved node names in the connection list (or, if/when they're blocked, in firewall's log). So if "someone" declares freenet illegal, the IP's are still there to see... _______________________________________________ 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]
