Low speed *is* normal. But it depends on how slow you're talking about. > quite a few DNF and such DNFs are also normal. Depending on what you're trying to get at. There are some freesites listed on the indexes that nobody is ever going to reach again. They're gone. On those sites, you're going to get DNF. DNF doesn't necessarily mean "error". The data could honestly not be there. > 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. ;) Java is nobody's friend. It's just that some people are into the whole pain thing. Java always likes more memory, so more memory would help you, but 512 MB should be enough. Get more because you want it, not because some application makes you think you need it. > I could use some advice on how to remedy the situation with slowness Get used to it? That's all I can think of. If you're not here for ideological reasons, the speed will be bugging you for a while to come. > and peaceful co-existence with p2p applications as mentioned before. I can't help you there. There's no known common problems with other P2P applications. If it really is Freenet messin' with emule and BitTorrent, it's something special to your setup. > Just one last thing... the anonymity part isn't really working here.

Freenet is supposed to provide anonymity to people who take content, and to those who make it available. It's like if you whisper something to your co-worker, and he whispers it to somebody else, and she whispers to the next person, and so on. Eventually, the whispered message will get to the person it was intended for, and the boss never knows who the message was for. She *does* know, however, who took part in the whole thing. There's gotta be meatspace somewhere. -todd _______________________________________________ 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]
