Freenet 0.7 build 950 is now available. Please upgrade, test, report bugs. The major change in this build is that backoff is no longer a load limiting as well as a load balancing mechanism: If all a node's peers are backed off then it will send requests to backed off peers. We have a separate load limiting algorithm (AIMD on the senders), and backoff should be strictly a load balancing mechanism. Backoff as a load limiting mechanism was probably doing more harm than good, but we will see. Certainly it was a problem for newbie nodes or true darknet nodes with small numbers of connections. Anyway, both mechanisms will be superseded in coming months, but the load limiting rewrite is not ready yet, and in the meantime this change *should* help to improve the currently rather poor insert performance.
Please upgrade, this build will become mandatory at 0:00 on Tuesday. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
