This is not a freenet bug as such, it's caused by it using a lot of memory and overrunning the default amount that java allocates. IIRC this is about 96MB on win2k which is a bit stingy these days. So, you need to allow it to have more (or/and reduce your maxNodeConnections, maximumThreads etc in freeenet.ini to try to make it use less. CofE reports that the newest JRE [1.5.0_04] seems to use more memory than previous ones so you could even try downgrading, but I would tend to recommend against that.) The way you are supposed to do it in windows is set the memory line in Flaunch.ini, in the directory where freenet is installed. By default it will look something like this : [Freenet Launcher] JavaExec=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_02\bin\java.exe Javaw=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_02\bin\javaw.exe JavaMem=default Priority=0 PriorityClass=64 Obviously you change the "JavaMem" line, it appears the format is e.g. "JavaMem=150" to set the maximum to 150MB. Incidentally, you can in theory increase this limit for all java apps you might run by going to control panel->java, then to the tab that lets you put in command line options for the JVM (you may see multiple ones), and adding e.g. "-Xmx150m". The "default" line in Flaunch.ini probably means to use whatever this system default is. Bob
