#3 Default setting makes WASTE maintain 0 cnnections

[Nils Werner]

All my mates are reporting that their WASTE is set to "maintain 0 connections" right after the installation.

This has a really negative effect on the stability and speed of networks!

I wonder what would be the best default value for this... Somewhere around 5?

So have the clients change the setting.
I prefer the setting to be 0 because if you have connection problems, the client rating goes down and eventually all IP's in the list are removed because they have a 0 rating.

Its still a lot easier if you changed your value to 0 instead of telling every new user to use something other than 0.

I want to close this, what should be the value of this by default?
I think in practice it should be the square root of the number of nodes you have in your mesh...
So up to 25 clients 5 is all right...
The bigger this value in average the harder to split a network but more redundant traffic occurs.
