I was attempting to fix the problem of there being no stable seednodes

someone who knows what they are doing) will immediately fail, not talk
to any other nodes, and give no semblance of working. As opposed to the
usual behaviour of connecting to a few nodes and still not working :).
http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/seednodes.ref now contains several
stable noderefs, so if your stable node needs reseeding, you should be
able to do it. New nodes should be able to connect to several other
nodes and therefore become part of the network. As this will have
prevented new users from using freenet at all, it seemed to be a fairly
high priority.
I recently had my IP changed, and after that I experienced Freenet (which 
was perfectly usuable from my node before) acted worse. I thought I could 
fix it by reseeding ..

.. and that was a major mistake. Now Freenet is, for all purposes, dead 
here. I cannot even get the bookmarks of the web interface.

So - stable nodes with a working network might want to export their seeds 
so that the rest of us can join in again :) I guess the situation I ended 
up with now is the same as for new nodes - and as Toad pointed out - that 
needs to be fixed ASAP.

 Great, but can you please attach the both keys as a text file because gmane
 screwed up everything :-)

I've attached the original key to this mail.  Hopefully, the new one isn't 
really needed.

I must confess, I've been remiss in inserting the new key the last few days.
It seems like the original has settled back down to normal (at least as far 
as I can tell from here).  Have you been able to retrieve it (the original 
DFI) successfully lately?  Inserts have been decidedly slow and difficult 
the last few days.  Not sure what the problem is (probably the fact that I'm 
running the latest unstable).  :-)  But they *do* eventually succeed.  I 
just hope it's propagating OK.

 Thanks!
 
 BTW, DFI is a great index!

Gee, thanks!  :-)  My main goal with DFI was to provide an index that's
continually updated and fast to load (hence the very limited graphics). TFE
and YoYo are great, but too static and too slow (what with all the
activelinks) for my tastes.  I also wanted an index that didn't have
tons of dead links or links to things that weren't html pages (has anyone
noticed that if you access FreenetHelp, your browser starts downloading
fmb.jar in the background?).  :-)

And incidentally, if the author of colours is reading this, could you
*please* use conventional edition numbering for your inserts?  Pretty
please?  :-)  It's hell to keep up with, it really is, which is why I still
haven't linked any of them on my site.  Can't even tell which is supposed to 
be the latest edition.
