In my experience on various computers outputBandwidthLimit does work, but tends to consistently overshoot by a few KiB. This could cause problems if you've been generous expecting it to be a hard ceiling limit ... try reducing it a bit. > > Since Freenet uses random ports for outgoing traffic, I can't really > > shape it on my firewall either.

Who can tell me how to do this? The freenethelp Wiki is very useful, but isn't official project documentation :) It should be possible to traffic-shape incoming traffic at least with a blanket "all incoming tcp to port whatever-your-listenPort-is" rule if you really want to, but any gains are likely to be minimal IMO (possibly slightly less CPU usage due to the kernel doing some of the limiting.)
