This is on 604, so there's no reason why it should be working perfectly, but
there's two obvious issues:

1.  Trying to access a DBR site that DNFs, will display the "The request
followed a Date Based Redirect ... click here for an earlier dated version"
message - but when it says "Technical details of this DBR: increment: 86400
offset:0" wouldn't it be better (for the user) to say something like "This
earlier version is dated 00:00 October 30 2002".   Actually this highlights
another issue [1]

2.  The example I tried was SSK at IuWJ~Zc7IZdfcCQHmHjp4-lBmksPAgM/RIAAsBane//
.  Clicking on the "earlier dated version" link takes me to
"...?date=20021030-11:22:27.   11:22:27 is the local PC time, rather than
anything to do with DBRs.  - is there any reason it doesn't link to
"...?date=20021030-00:00:00" instead?   (Or is that not how the DBR offset
is used?)


[1] -  Are there any plans (current or proposal) for localising FProxy?  I
expect this would increase the massmarket appeal of Freenet significantly
(we've already had several support calls from non-English speakers
requesting help and configuration instructions in their own language).
Localising FProxy would not even be particularly difficult, just a simple
string table lookup on all strings and external localised dictionary files,
with presumably the American English dictionary coded into the .jar.  I'd do
it if I knew Java, but then it's so easy I doubt I'd even need to know Java
to do it.
Obviously there's then the issue of providing the translated strings.  No
biggie, that's what babel.altavista.com is for.
