Hi all,
Announcing a brand new GUI-based Freenet
client program.
It's called 'FreeWeb', and uses Freenet to
implement a new World Wide Web over Freenet.
More specifically, it implements a new domain
called ".free", using an in-Freenet DNS registry.
Unlike the mainstream Web, sites published on
'.free' are immune to takedown demands, and can't be tracked to their
publishers.
For example, you can publish a site, and create
URLs on your own domain such as www.blahoo.free
You can also use these URLs to visit other people's
sites.
Features:
* No need to know anything about Freenet keys - no
more 'freenet:MSK@SSK@whatthehellisallthisgobbledook/somesite//'
* Easy GUI-based upload of websites - just
drag'n'drop a folder, name the domain and go
* Implements a 'pirate' domain called
'.free'
* Compatible with any web browser
* Smart configurable anonymity filter blocks web
bugs
* Secure in-Freenet DNS registry with fully
automatic domain creation and submission
* Fully compatible with existing
MSK@SSK@blahblah/sitename// URIs
* Includes a special proxy server, so browsers
actually see a domain called '.free'. For example, browsers will retrieve
the URL www.freeweb.free
* Does all the housekeeping involved in uploading
and updating websites - as many as you want
* Transparently uses Mr Bad's 'freenetmirror' in
background as the upload engine
* Uploaded sites are automatically listed on www.dns.free (unless author requests
otherwise)
* cron-friendly - able to update sites in non-gui
mode
FreeWeb is officially alpha code, but basically
quite safe, stable and functional.
I've squished as many bugs as I can find just now,
but don't expect it to be totally perfect.
It feels appropriate to put it out for testing now,
so as it approaches beta and full release, I can make best use of your
feedback.
It's been successfully tested on Windows 98 and
2000. Hopefully it should also work on Win95C (perhaps B too), and NT
4.51
Sorry, but at the moment, no Linux or Mac ports are
available (KDE and Mac developers please get in touch).

Any bugs, suggestions, bouquets and brickbats,
please send to me directly - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Enjoy! :)
