Well, there is a bug in 0.4.6 (and before???) with respect to bandwidth
control (some value was not reset to 0), breaking the limiting completely.
There was also a screw-up with UP and DOWN being used the wrong way.
I've seen these traffic surges myself & could not quite explain them yet
either, but they should not have to be.  [and yes, this is definitely a big
short-term problem; reducing traffic is one of the big goals for the current
big refactoring].

The number is the number of nodes that you are directly connected to, the
actual network can be larger (but it's currently not too likely, who has
90kbps? :-)

The flolp server seems to be down at the moment, if you remove it from the
config file, gnunetd will go straight to ovmj.org which should make it
connect faster.

The first 5 minutes are the timeout on flolp. :-(

The IP:port will not help anybody to connect...
