Surely it mustbe possible to upgrade a network without shutting it down for years.But all that being said, I have no doubt that the developers are workinghard to bring everything back to speed and I am confident that the endresult will be an even better network than the one we "lost" in thebeginning of the year.

Come forse molti sapranno, il gruppo di sviluppo sta disabilitando alcune delle ultime modifiche della versione stabile 5xxx per cercare di far ripartire Freenet come strumento utilizzabile. L'ultima modifica (dell'altro ieri) e' stata la rimozione del pcaching; per favore aggiornate i vostri nodi se girate la versione stable. Se fra una settimana la situazione non sara' migliorata, verra' eseguito un backport con la versione stable 692 che quasi certamente fara' ripartire tutto.
