I saw the following message on Frost's Freenet board. Scroll down to the end to see the results. With my experiance uploading and downloading files on the the 0.7 network, there is no way I have found to make my speed even come close to what they can do on the 0.5 network. Why is the 0.7 network so much slower?
----- Freenet Is [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- 2007.01.20 - 04:59:37GMT ----- It looks like development has stopped. More waste time do nothing prove nothing simulations are in the works. LOL!!! Why? Look what the sims have done for us. Nothing. It's beginning to look like 0.7 is doomed. Toad is all but silent. ----- Anonymous ----- 2007.01.20 - 15:03:09GMT ----- The 0.7 freenet is working the way Toad wanted. He didn't want open net and didn't want it to be used for file trading, so as far as he is concerned its working as designed. There is no need to do any more development. ----- Anonymous ----- 2007.01.20 - 21:32:37GMT ----- Freenet 0.7 is brilliant for file trading though! check out all the stuff available via Thaw and advertised in the music boards. ----- Anonymous ----- 2007.01.21 - 16:44:34GMT ----- Brilliant for file trading? I have an outstanding challenge to any of the 0.7 users who would want to race. So far there have been no takers. How about you? ----- Anonymous ----- 2007.01.22 - 10:20:15GMT ----- OK, sure. How should we do it to ensure the most accurate results? 1. We should test both inserts and retrieves. 2. We should test a range of filesizes. 3. We should do it several times with different files of almost identical sizes, so we can see the average time and how much the variance is. 4. We could do it with long-running nodes and freshly installed nodes (I understand 0.5 needs some time to warm up) 5. We could do it with different max memory configurations. My internet usage is capped to a certain amount per month, so I throttle my Freenet bandwidth accordingly. Can you throttle Freenet 0.5 bandwidth? We could start with a simple test. The Linux version of Firefox 2 is 9.2MBfrom here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ I will unthrottle my bandwidth and insert that into Freenet 0.7 and see how long it takes. There is a problem in that Freenet doesn't record how long an insert takes, so I'll have to watch it regularly. But it will give us an idea. I will record the % at regular intervals. I don't have any other inserts or retrievals going. [See below for the results]. My setup: 1.4GHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 128MB allocated to Freenet. Linux 2.6.18kernel, Sun Java 1.5.0_10-b03. Freenet runs on a cryptsetup encrypted partition. Consumer IDE hard disk. No other applications running so swap isn't being used. Internet connection is a consumer ADSL, download speed about 4Mbps, upload about 500kbps.

I've set the bandwidth limits to 100KBps which is essentially uncapped. My CPU usage was minimal (< 5%) and load average was very small (< 0.2). Time %Completed ---- ----- 8:05 0.0% 8:11 3.6% 8:15 6.5% 8:20 11.2% 8:25 16.4% 8:30 21.4% 8:37 27.5% 8:40 29.7% 8:45 34.5% 8:50 38.6% 8:55 42.8% 9:00 47.1% 9:05 51.6% 9:10 55.9% 9:15 60.4% 9:20 65.4% 9:25 69.5% 9:30 73.6% 9:35 78.6% 9:41 84.4% 9:45 88.0% 9:50 93.2% 9:55 97.2% 9:57 100.0% So that is about 5MB per hour for insertions. About 100MB a day. About 1.4kB per second. About 11 kbps. Enough to upload an album or two a day; a 700MB DivX would take about a week. In the statistics above, the Payload Output says about 9kB per second, so what is the rest of the bandwidth being used for? I imagine it must be for routing other people's inserts and requests. If someone else could retrieve this file and log how long it takes, that would be useful. A detailed log would be interesting, although the insert went at a pretty uniform speed. Give also some details of your setup i.e. memory, CPU, number of peers, bandwidth, etc. The key is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ,ec3MfYKBF9Jz0xt2j94kpZyEB0hJS~ZhgMG~HgfVfqk,AAIC--8/firefox-2.0.0.1.tar.gz If anyone else wants to repeat the insert experiment, they should do it with a different file, since inserting this file a second time should go much quicker in theory. Possibly more peers would help, I have relatively few peers, and a lot were backed-off. Freenet 0.7 optimizes retrievals over inserts, so I would expect the retrieval to be a lot faster. It will be interesting to see how this goes on 0.5. In the interests of fairness, please say how your setup might be optimized more than a newbie's installation, because I know 0.5 is supposed to take a week or so to get up to speed. ----- Anonymous ----- 2007.01.22 - 16:55:34GMT ----- The 0.5 network isn't the best for inserting small files like that one, but does OK. Not to give away too much information, my pc is an AMD Athalon running linux 2.4 and java 1.5. My network is 1.5MB down and 384KB up, and Im running both the 0.5 network and 0.7 network on the same box. I inserted it with fuqid with 10 threads up and 30 threads down. I could have easily doubled the number of upload threads which would cut the upload time in half without overloading my node. I get to pick the next file we test with.

download took 27 min. to complete.
Now it's my turn to pick a file. I've downloaded the Knoppmyth ISO file from http://www.mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html and will begin uploading it soon. This is a good linux distro for anyone with a spare pc. With a video card, this can turn an ordinary pc into a very nice PVR. Im inserting the file with fuqid. I will keep you informed of my upload status. Please tell me when you begin to upload the file.
