My connection is nominally 10Mbit/s symmetrical but actually somewhat less than that, I upload and download stuff (including large files) at over 600kB/s easily, sometimes over 900kB/s and occasionally over 1mB/s.
I thought that BitTorrent may be limiting the bandwidth left for Freenet so I limited the BT bandwidth to 500kB/s symmetrical but Freenet bandwidth usage didnt benefit from that. There is the old and overtalked issue of my ISP not letting me get inbound connection unless I pay for it separately at the mobster price of ?4 a day but as you know, that shouldn't be a problem as long as my peers don't have the same limitation. I can connect to all of my peers so I assume that they can listen for inbound connections (but I did have to give up on trying to connect to someone a couple of times in the past because of the no-inbounds thing :/) So what could the problem be? Limited peers' bandwidth? At least some of them have extremely good connections, I guess I should get better bandwidth usage when those are connected, but I don't. All my peers are old, well established nodes, some of them are up 24/7 and some use both opennet/darknet Some info about other stuff, for comparison: Non-anonymous apps use at least half the 10Mbit/s without problems, and sometimes about 80,85% of it. i2p uses between 100 and 150 kB/s on average in each direction with max 500kB/s allowed, peaks up to 400+kB/s. I dont run a Tor server because of the "evil ISP" problem. >> Notes: >> - darknet only >> - usually 8 through 15 connected peers >> - node is up virtually 24/7 >> - little use of the node, mostly reading freesites and using frost >> >>> This will help us to make decisions about new performance features ... >>> >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Support mailing list >>> Support at freenetproject.org >>> http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support >>> Unsubscribe at >>> http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support >>> Or mailto:support-request at freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
