Whatever the personal opinion of the single Freenet developers/contributors 
might be (and we don't want to know), the Freenet Project can't afford legal 
suits from the rich, powerful, and politically tied media industry.

IMHO negative media attention is better than no media attention, but the 
problem is that at least some of those lawsuits will be lost, with many 
financial and legal consequences possibly leading to the project being forcibly 
shut down or bankrupted, or both, leading to the end of the Freenet project. 

Terefore, the official policy of the Freenet project MUST be to heavily 
discourage copyright-infringing use of Freenet and deny support to known 
"pirates" -this last detail is necessary in order to cut any possible legal 
bound that a clever lawyer could try to use in court.

If the Freenet project is sued for copyright infringement, Ian or who ever gets 
to represent the project in court can always claim that official members of the 
Freenet crew adhere to a strict anti-piracy policy, refusing to even *talk* to 
copyright "pirates".

This is a matter of survival, the project must go on and in order to finish the 
job Freenet needs to protect itself from the possibility of law suits.

I'd always been under impression that it's a characteristic of files
inserted by Frost - at least, I vaguely remember some discussion about
this issue on the mailing lists. I experience exactly the same issue
with temp files, and *it seems* to only happen with Frost-inserted
contents (at least, as far as I was able to verify my download history).

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7 build 1193

2008-12-12 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7 build 1193 is now available. Please upgrade. Changes:
- Significant changes to the old-opennet-peers mechanism, should make 
reconnecting after downtime much quicker, nodes should get back to where they 
were on the network more quickly even after long downtimes. This will only 
really be testable after Tuesday when 1193 is mandatory. We now keep 25 
old-opennet-peers, which had been useful to us (i.e. weren't dropped from the 
bottom of the LRU by either us or the other peer, just disconnected when the 
node went down etc). We constantly try to reconnect to them for up to a 
month.
- Various other opennet tweaks and bugfixes, some may be significant: we were 
making far too few connection offers on nodes receiving a lot of 
un-decodeable or old-opennet-peer packets, and also fixes to going over the 
20 peers limit.
- Some connectivity fixes, for nodes with multiple IP addresses (e.g. if 
connecting to local/LAN IPs is enabled), and sending packets when we had 
decided not to send packets.
- Public gateway mode: If enabled, users who are allowed to access fproxy but 
don't have full access to the node cannot access the global queue and cannot 
fetch files over 2MB.
- Minor fixes to fproxy.

It seems that it happens only with files from one specific freesite, so
I think that there might be something wrong on the file link side.

Ah, I forgot to mention that before freenet is actually downloading the
file it fails for that files with the message "too many path components"
and I have to click on "follow redirect". After that the file download
seems to be OK till the completion phase.

Thanx in advance,

Does this happen only with the files from that specific freesite or for lots 
of files from lots of freesites?

Fortunately freenet is designed precisely to take away any such grounds
of belief.

Though, personally, I would actually *encourage* everyone to violate
copyright law. Since it itself violates the more important
constitutional law--namely, to paraphrase, our right to freely do
whatever we want in the dark confined privacy of our bedrooms.

[freenet-support] Temporary files error

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

While downloading a set of files indexed by a freesite when it wants to
write the downloaded file to disks I always get the following error:

"Temporary files error: File already freed"

I tried to "restart" the specific files several time. The progress
always goes back some percent but not much (that are rather small files)
and when it wants to complete the download I get the above message again
and again and again.

Is there anything I can do about that?
