Hi John, Freenet does indeed expect some ports to be forwarded, and may use UPnP (using the UPnP plugin) to open them for you. At least one end of each node-to-node link should have its ports forwarded for a connection to succeed. If you are connected to enough peers, you should be fine. To rule out any weird connectivity issues, please check if you are able to retrieve any Freenet page at all (I suggest you try some of the default bookmarks). If so, your connectivity is not to blame. Inserting files into Freenet is slow, expect it to take quite some time for large files. The speed at which you are able to upload depends on your configured bandwidth limit, your actual internet connection bandwidth, as well as the number of peers you are connected to and their bandwidths. I'm not entirely sure about the exact semantics of the "starting" status. Note however that Freenet only updates the progress of an insert after a certain amount of data has been inserted, you might just have to wait a bit longer. If your problems persist, please also indicate the number of peers you are connected to, and please report which Freenet version you are using. Thank you for running Freenet! -- Bert
