Re: [freenet-support] help
In the next couple of days we are hoping to put together a new freenet
installer that FIXES all known issues with the windows Freenet.exe ('white
rabbit' systray icon) application, including (but not limited to) the
following:
o Rabbit icon sometimes 'locks up' and you can't get the popup menu to
appear
o 'Configure' doesn't work
o Spaces in filenames don't work
o Restarting freenet sometimes leaves it in a 'Freenet Having Problems'
state
And a bunch of others besides. This should make freenet on Windows a easier
thing to use (and debug!) as any outstanding issues can then be tracked down
as either
o Freenet java problems
o Installer problems
o Network (e.g. firewall) problems

Re: [freenet-support] (no subject)
Try re-downloading it and reinstalling it. This is a very surprising error indeed, since freenet.exe is the main executable file so I can't understand why it can't find it. One possibility is that you have installed freenet.exe onto a network-mapped drive and that the shortcut in your StartUp folder is trying to access this drive before the mapping has completed. Another alternative is that you have installed freenet.exe using a login which has access to a certain folder but then you are trying to run it as a user who DOESN'T have access to this folder. You don't say what operating system you are using. Or what version of freenet you are trying. In fact you don't say much at all so this reply is total conjecture.

Re: [freenet-support] Help!
This seems to be a very common problem so I've decided to look into it. The Sun JRE 1.1.8_007 does NOT install files named java.exe and javaw.exe which is the general assumption for a java runtime environment (JRE) Instead, the Sun JRE 1.1.8_007 installs files named jre.exe and jrew.exe. The part of the freenet installer that looks for a Java runtime environment only searches for java.exe and javaw.exe and hence the Sun JRE 1.1.8_007 is NOT found because it uses incorrect filenames. Because of this incompatibility I recommend you use an alternative JRE. For example, Sun JRE 1.3.1: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/download-windows.html There is a remote possibility that a future freenet installer may be tested against Sun JRE 1.1.8_007 and that it may be modified to seek for jre.exe and jrew.exe as alternative java interpreters.

Re: [freenet-support] (no subject)
Yes. Don't forget to download and install the Java Runtimes. That's what it asked you to do. Freenet is written in Java, and needs Java Runtimes installed before it will work.

Re: [freenet-support] Is there any special procedure to shut down freenet
Dave, Thanks. I was asking if I need to call any function in the java code if I want to restart the node. I don't know if someone is attacking me or what, my node is getting slow over time. I saw a lot of tcp connections in the CLOSE_WAIT state. So I want to restart the node automatically everyday. The CLOSE_WAIT thing is a bug, as far as I can remember. Could you make a log of this bug in the bugtracker so that the appropriate freenet devs get awareness of the problem: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browsegroup_id=978atid=100978 If I just kill the java process and restarted, it seems to mess up the data store. Some times fproxy does not start after this. Yuan I don't know why it messes up the data store, but I can probably guess: Killing a process is generally a bad idea (I can't remember if you said you were using Windows or a *nix variant operating system) no matter what operating system (but especially Windows as the operating system doesn't garbage-collect stray file handles and lost memory) The way the freenet tray utility works under Windows is to send a windows message to the (hidden) gui node. What I mean is, the freenet tray utility secretly runs java Freenet.node.gui.GUINode (not java Freenet.node.Node). This creates a gui interface to the Freenet node. The tray utility creates this hidden so the user cannot see it, but it's there, I assure you. The freenet tray utility then (in response to the use clicking on Stop Freenet) tells this window to close itself, and this in turn causes the freenet node to stop itself, CLEANLY. If you want to do something similar to safely shut down and restart the freenet node, you can run java Freenet.node.gui.GUINode from the command line instead of java Freenet.node.Node (if you're using Windows, do this instead of using the freenet systray utility) and then, when you want to shut the node down, close the window that appeared. Closing the GUINode window can be automated under Windows (the freenet tray utility does a number of clever things to achieve this, but essentially all it is really doing is sending the WM_SYSCOMMAND[SC_CLOSE] message to all the windows created by the java process. Although my tip for the day is to only send this to windows that have a message pump associated to them otherwise Windows 'helpfully' pops up a message saying 'this window cannot be closed automatically ' . Check out the source code for the freenet tray utility if you're interested in this sort of thing) I honestly don't know about *nix (and I currently don't have access to a box) but I'm pretty safe in assuming that it's straightforward to automate closing a simple java gui window given a decent window manager under *nix (my logic here generally goes along the lines of If you can do it in Windows, you can almost certainly do it in *nix, but buggered if I know how) Hope this helps some, Dave ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: [freenet-support] BUGs and wishes... under WINDOWS
1 a) if you try to import/export references in a location with spaces in the path, like C:\test freenet\pippo.ref or C:\mickey mouse.ref, the process fails! Argh. Sounds like I wrote that bug. 1 b) if you try to import/export references in a good location accordingly to point 1a, but you have J2RE installed in a location with spaces in the path, like C:\program files\jre\bin\..., the process fails too! Argh. Sounds like I wrote that bug too. 2) if you make manual changes to freenet.ini, like services=fproxy,nodeinfo,console,nodestatus, an after that you use the nodeconfig program, you may loose some setting... like services=fproxy,nodeinfo, Fair point. Which specific changes get lost when you run NodeConfig (is it just the services= key or is there more?). NodeConfig only knows how to deal with the fproxy and nodeinfo services. I probably ought to make it pass through anything it doesn't understand and let the user edit that from NodeConfig too. (In fact I'll probably just add it to the Unknown Settings dialog off of the Serious Geeks Only tab) and now the wish... :) Is possible to start freenet node as a WinNT service? Do a quick search on the freenet developers' archive, someone was talking about this just the other day. It's not hard to write a simple NT Service wrapper for freenet.exe, but I haven't had the time to do it and no-one else has done it yet either. However there's seemingly loads of third-party tools that let you run generic .exe applications as services. Not quite as good or flexible as having freenet actually running as a service but pretty close. d ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

This is the correct place. I'm sorry that you've felt you've been ignored. I've checked the support archives and you appear to be having a problem with your computer freezing or rebooting when you click on the freenet icon. Which icon is this - the one on the desktop or the little rabbit in the systray area of the taskbar (the small icons near the clock)? There is nothing in the freenet software that would cause the computer to freeze or reboot and that is why you haven't received any supportive responses.

Re: [freenet-support] NodeConfig, missing .dll error
I stuck a copy of it up at http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/mfc70.zip (it may need to be unzipped into the windows directory). This weekend I'll see what i can do getting it to installer without actaully having everyone downloading it every time they update. I'm under the impression that Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP regard MFCxx (and MSVCRT and MSVCPxx and MSVCIRT, etc) as system files which can only be installed (correctly) as part of the system service pack or hotfix procedure. It is not 1997 any more - you cannot just tell users to unzip this Microsoft DLL into C:\Windows\System and see if that fixes the problem. I therefore also believe that releasing code built with MSVC7 will imply a dependency on the end-user installing either a very recent service pack OR the .net libraries. This is not a good situation. Either release the MSVC6 builds (almost all users will have the necessary MFC DLLs for that - Windows2000, ME and XP all install the necessary system files for MSVC6 releases anyway) or do static builds. I hate microsoft, really i do. I'm adding http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/msvcr70.zip . same directions with this as mfc70.zip NO NO NO, it sounds more like you just don't understand them.

The negative effects are when you need to store large files, essentially the file needs to be broken up into smaller chunks, and so takes longer to store/retrieve. I don't think the size of your FAT table matters anymore, way back when it was limited and so you were limited by disk size vs cluster size vs FAT table size. Or something like that. Something like that. The three FAT addressing schemes I know of in wide use are FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32 which provide for 2^12, 2^16 and 2^32 clusters (actually I think it's 2^12-64, 2^16-64 or 2^32-256, or something crazy anyway). FAT32 is only 'marginally' slower than FAT16 in practice, and FAT32 is measurably *faster* than NTFS. Generally you wouuld not want to use anything less than FAT32 for a freenet datastore, and if you want a freenet datastore 2GB you will need to use FAT32, because the largest cluster size allowed by FAT12 and FAT16 is 32768 bytes. The clincher is obviously that not all operating systems support FAT32 (e.g. Windows NT does not out of the can, but www.sysinternals.com have a FAT32 driver for NT) Not that this should make a big difference - if you're planning to use your datastore in both linux and windows then any old FAT partition should do - you may run into problems with an NTFS partition (I don't know how reliable the NTFS support is in linux). If you were planning to use Windows 2000 or XP exclusively, I might suggest using a compressed directory as your freenet datastore - not because of the disk space this saves (it would save very little, probably - see end of message), but because the compressed clusters are shared within the directory tree so only the last cluster allocated to the directory tree has 'wasted' space at the end. Ideal if you care about space but don't care so much about extra processing time. Although obviously an NTFSv5 feature only (and so not applicable to the original fat32 posting) OS-level compressing of directory trees in pre-NTFSv5 operating systems (i.e. before Windows 2000) can be achieved by using commercial software like www.zipmagic.com/zipmagic, which (among other things) makes zip files appear to the operating system as regular 'explorable' folders, or by using the built-in DriveSpace / DoubleSpace utilities to set up a virtual compressed drive. Actually I would make a personal recommendation for zipmagic, it really is rather good, and I'm sure there must be a less expensive alternative available On my NTFS partition, my store currently has about 3% wasted space from cluster allocation. Setting the NTFS Compress flag shrinks it so that my store uses only .5% more space 'on disk' . (Yes - the compressed datastore still uses more than the 'on paper' amount of disk space, mainly due to the encrypted nature of the datastore and its inherent incompressibility coupled with the still necessary cluster allocation) I would therefore expect similar results under FAT32 - that is, a .zip datastore with zipmagic or similar using only about .5% more space than the datastore size on paper. However that is on likely to be true if you can keep the .zip file fragments together... I don't know what zipmagic's fragmentation guarantees are, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were no guarantees whatsoever. It is possible to preallocate files under NTFS using tools such as Contig (www.sysinternals.com) to ensure that they do not fragment - however this only really works in practice for files which do not grow and shrink unpredictably, such as files which are written to rarely but read often. I'm guessing such a tool would be of only limited value for a freenet datastore. I have no idea if comparable utilities are available for use with FAT partitions. dave ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: [freenet-support] Freenet
Now if you'll calm down... you can read my comments or scroll to the bottom for the 'summarised' answer. I wanted to write and tell you how displeased I am with your software. I installed it and it is cumbersome to use. It is being touted as a P2P app. NOT BY US. You have been, ehm, 'misinformed'. This does not appear to be the case. Never could figure it out. I made the BIG mistake of setting my directory to the My Shared Folder for Kazaa. Were you given a warning saying The folder you have selected is not empty or similar? You should have been. If not this is a bug. However if you had understood properly what Freenet was (e.g. read the documentation), you would have realised that putting your Freenet datastore inside your My Shared Folder was a really silly thing to do. Well, when I applied that option, I would assume that all these FUCKING folders your program created moved all my data into these folders (i.e. a0, a1 etc). Assume? Did you think of actually checking rather than assuming? What might have happened is that Freenet initially moved the files into one of the folders because it didn't know what else to do with them (YOU YOURSELF had told it to use the My Shared Folder, after all). Well, I opened a few of those folders after uninstalling your prgram to find empty folders. Well, I just went ahead and deleted all those folders that your program created only to find out a minute later that I had deleted 15 FUCKING GIGS of data. Ok, so you deleted empty folders, and lost 15 gigabytes of data? Clearly you didn't even check to see if those folders were empty. Empty folders don't contain data, remember that? If you right-click a folder in Windows, it will tell you a) How many files are in it b) How much data (in megabytes, gigabytes, etc) is in there If you had BOTHERED TO DO THAT (see, I can shout too), then you would KNOW the folders were not empty. I was able to restore about 1 gig. A small smattering of the files I had. Well caught. I have no idea what actually happened in your case, but I can assure that the files in your My Shared Folder in Kazaa will NOT have been deleted by Freenet. They may have been moved, and if this is the case it is potentially a bug. What it sounds like happened, is that your 15Gigs of Kazaa'd files were still all there - although Freenet had perhaps moved them into a different folder - and when you deleted all the folders you deleted them as well. You REALLY REALLY should check what you're deleting before you delete it. I am so FUCKING PISSED off at you and your software. Seems to me like you just deleted a bunch of files you wanted to keep and just lashed out at the first people you came across. There's nothing we can do about it. I'm very sorry that you deleted stuff you wanted to keep, but that's hardly my fault. I will spread the word that people should not use this software and the problems it has. FUCK YOU - FUCK YOUR PROGRAM AND FUCK ALL THOSE LITTLE FOLDERS. Feel free to spread the word but I very much doubt anything you say would be directly attributed to Freenet. Freenet is NOT a P2P system (although it can be used as one). If you delete a load of directories without checking what's in them, are you really surprised you lost a load of data? Freenet's datastore is NOT the same as My Shared Files. It is impossible to find out what is in your datastore, by design (this is to ensure privacy, untraceability, anonymity, etc). If Freenet simply used your My Shared Files folder, you would know exactly what was in your datastore, and other people could effectively trace information back to YOU and potentially threaten legal action. If you just wanted to use your My Shared Files folder, stick to using Kazaa. Freenet uses its own system, which is DIFFERENT, because Freenet IS NOT KAZAA. The calm answer is: If you want to try again a) Check your facts - Freenet is not a P2P system (who told you that?) b) Put your Freenet data store in a separate folder (e.g. C:\Freenet or G:\Program Files\Freenet\Store or whatever) c) Don't put your Freenet data store in My Shared Folder (if you want you could put it into a subdirectory like My Shared Folder\Freenet or My Shared Folder\DataStore or similar, but it really doesn't make sense to share a Freenet data store since it will only actually work on your own computer, and for anyone else to access it both you and they must be running Freenet) The less calm answer is: Next time I accidentally delete some files I didn't mean to, I'm going to email you and say FUCK YOU, see how you like it. dave == THE AUTHOR OF THIS MESSAGE IS NOT DIRECTLY AFFILIATED WITH FREENETPROJECT.ORG AND THIS EMAIL CONTAINS PERSONAL OPINIONS WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT REFLECT THE COLLECTIVE OPINIONS OR MOTIVES OF THOSE PEOPLE BEHIND THE FREENET SOFTWARE ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [freenet-support] Nothing but DNFs
I also have a complaint to whoever said that 100 idling threads is harmless. Not on windows it isn't, certainly not in java on windows. Threads are rpocesses and have horrible overhead. Threads are not processes ... they're threads. If you look in Windows Task Manager, for example, and click on the processes tab, you don't see 100+ freenet process. You do see one javaw.exe process and, if you do View / Select Columns... and tick Thread count, you'll see it has an ugly buttload of threads. Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, all the cool thread / fiber / io completion management available in win32 isn't accessible from Java (unless someone can point me to documentary evidence to the contrary that states clearly the particular (portable) Java code needed to set up a Win32 IOCompletionPort) Threads on Java on Windows have horrible overhead but, as I see it, that's the JVM's fault, and not really a fault of Java itself, and certainly not a fault of the freenet project. But I agree that it does suck. A native Win32 application can happily spawn 100+ threads and not get bogged down in its own underwear. But for I/O management, having millions of most-likely-idle threads is NOT the way to go (certainly on Win32 anyway, because there's far better ways to do things). d ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: [freenet-support] temp files
The recent mention of the temp directory prompted me to go look to see what was in there. I found 1200 files totaling 125meg Aren't these supposed to be being deleted when freenet is done with them? Not necessarily. Are you sure? What is the *point* if temporary files if they're not temporary? :-) Freenet uses temporary files for numerous reasons but the bottom line has to always be, when it's no longer needed, it should be deleted. Or reused. Or whatever. Quick important question though ... when the original poster (Joel M. Baldwin) reported looking in the temp directory, I assume the refence was to the freenet store_n/temp folder rather than /tmp or C:\Temp or something generic ... Temporary files accumulating in store_n/temp without being deleted (runaway temp files) is a serious error and should be raised to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. Temporary files accumulating elsewhere is very unlikely to be a freenet problem and more likely to be a JVM problem, or something completely unrelated (e.g. Microsoft Word, whatever) Some Unix implementations clear /tmp on startup, some don't. Are you sure all the files in there were created by Freenet? Whatever OS you're running can be set easily to clear out any and all temporary directories on system boot. This is a good point, but if freenet is creating runaway temp files it is only an appropriate workaround if you're prepared to regularly reboot/restart the OS. have to do this on my Win2K box under the 'Documents and Settings' dir, or IE will cache the entire Internet on my hard drive. Personally I would quite like IE to cache the entire Internet on my hard drive. :-) Seriously though, and slightly off-topic, IE's cache doesn't use temporary files (as such), plus it has a prescribed upper-limit maximum size which you can set. IE caching is a good thing, but has nothing to do with the temporary files that freenet may generate. If you don't want IE to cache anything, reduce its cache to zero. If you don't want it to take up space in your system partition, simply moves IEs cache elsewhere. Check your IE properties.

If you don't know what Freenet is, or how it works, then YOU are not ready for IT. You would be wrong to say that Freenet isn't ready for the public because you cannot use it. You do not need to be 'qualified' in order to use Freenet. However, although we admit that our user documentation is not very clear (and we are working on this), this is no reason to not bother reading any of it! But to give you the benefit of the doubt, here's some very basic information about Freenet, which you could have obtained yourself, by reading the Freenet documentation at www.freenetproject.org. To get the points across, I've decided to oversimplify things somewhat, but you should get the general idea. 1. Freenet runs constantly, not just when you need it. If freenet doesn't run constantly it won't work. Ok, so you don't have to keep your computer on all the time, because sometimes this is impractical. But ideally, you should! 2. When you run Freenet, not only does it enable you to view information on Freenet, it allows OTHER PEOPLE to get access to the information. This is not the same as hacking - nobody can find out what information you are viewing on Freenet. By running Freenet, you also help OTHER people to run Freenet. Think of it as file sharing, but the files you're sharing can be web pages, etc. The more people sharing the files, the better Freenet runs. So the more people running it, and the longer it runs for, the better it becomes. 3. When Freenet is running, and you double click on the rabbit icon, a web page will appear. This allows you to browse Freenet through your web browser. There are many ways to access information on Freenet, but some people find using the web browser is easiest. 4. Information is stored in Freenet using a KEY. Think of the KEY as a postal address. Except instead of saying Mr. Dumbass, Zoovrooselchester it says CHK@[EMAIL PROTECTED] or something. 5. If you don't know the KEY of something in Freenet, then you can't access it. In the same way that, if you don't know someone's postal address, you can't send them a letter. 6. To find the KEY for something you want in freenet, you can ask on newsgroups, on IRC channels, etc. There are several 'secure, anonymous' communication mechanisms that run on Freenet, e.g. Frost . Do a search on google if you want to find out more about this sort of thing. 7. As a starting point, in order to save you some time and effort trying to find some Freenet keys, click on the Freedom Engine link in the web page that appears in your web browser (after you've double clicked on the rabbit). The Freedom Engine is a web site within Freenet (a freesite), that links to many (hundreds?) of other freesites. Good luck and happy hunting. By the way, READ THE FUCKING DOCUMENTATION NEXT TIME.

Re: [freenet-support] questions
I am a newbie who has just set up a permanent node, and I'm getting abysmal results trying to access freesites. The few attempts that succeed take up to an hour to load, and most sites never come back at all. Is this performance normal? ... Yes ... Although an hour seems excessive. For example, the more popular freesites (e.g. those which are nearer the top of the page at The Freedom Engine) should be retrievable in a matter of minutes or less, depending on connectivity. I've heard conflicting reports about how to improve performance, from adding every site you've ever seen to your seedrefs file to cleaning out your seedrefs file. What's the deal on improving performance? Is it simply a matter of time? There's no real way to get an immediate-oxygen-hit boost to your performance. Time is the best way, especially if you have a permanent node. Just try retrieving as many different things as you can for now, as your node will use this to find out about the other Freenet nodes in its neighbourhood and so improve routing over time. I expect my IP address to change soon? What effect will this have on my node? Will I need to blast all the data and do a fresh install, or can I move the working node to the new address? You don't need to change any of the software. You can use the rabbit's Configure option (under Windows) or edit freenet.conf / freenet.ini to set a new IP address. Then stop and restart Freenet. You won't lose any data in your freenet data store. In fact, in the not-too-distant future, you won't even need to change anything - Freenet will automatically notice that your IP address has changed and reconfigure itself accordingly. d ___ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: [freenet-support] help
Keys in freenet are like files on the internet. So the Data not found message you're getting is similar to a 404: Page not found page you might see from time to time on the internet. There's a bit more to it, but you can think of it like that. Is your freenet running well? Can you retrieve *anything* or does *everything* come back with data not found? How long have you been running freenet for (it takes some hours to adapt to the network the very first time you use it - this is for obvious reasons). A lot of useful information can be obtained by opening the browser to http://127.0.0.1: and clicking on Open Connections. Are there any connections (Is your node able to connect to other nodes?) - if so, how many inbound and how many outbound? If you click on Node Status Interface (under Internals) on the freenet web interface page, and then click on the topmost Node Reference Status link, what does it say? How many node references are there, what does the Connection Attempts say, etc As a last resort - is there anything scary looking in the logfile (freenet.log) like big flashing ERROR messages? d - Original Message - From: Uncle Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:28 PM Subject: [freenet-support] help How do I get keys and avoid this error: Freenet Couldn't Retrieve Key Network Error Data not found (Freenet could not find the data) Retrying... = John Sale [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [freenet-support] help
I don't show any of those links on the web interface page. This may be the problem thoughWhen I click on the switch to advance mode link in the upper left hand corner. It says that I am in transient mode and cannot switch to advances. Hm - if you're in transient mode then that's why you're not getting incoming connections. If you look in the option windo it show that I am not in trabnsient mode...and when you go to the for geeks only tab and check the boxt o change those setting on the first tab, it doesn't work the transientg mode and running 24/7 check bixes are alwqays grayed out. You can't actually change the 'transient' mode setting - it's detected automatically. If your computer is behind a firewall then you're probably transient. Transient means that computers on the internet cannot connect to your computer. This is because your firewall is not letting them! So to fix this you will need to make sure your firewall allows traffic to your freenet port. If you're not running a firewall, or firewall software, or you're connected directly to the internet through a modem, or your network or LAN doesn't have a firewall, or gateway, or NAT or anything like that, then it should work. Otherwise whatever is stopping freenet receiving incoming connections will need to be reconfigured. Obviously external hardware devices like these cannot be reconfigured by the Freenet software! You'll need to configure them yourself. I don't know. I've heard really great things about Freenet project, but I'm getting kinda skeptical. It's great, honest I've let frenet runn for days and it still brings nothing up...it either looks for a page for ever or I get the error that I sent you earlier. it seems that ther are a hell of a lot of extra configureations just to gert this thing to work. Why doesn't it configure cortrectly from the installation? For most people and system configurations, it does. But you still didn't tell me what's in your logfile.

Re: [freenet-support] route not found
To configure your firewall you need to 1. Let *ALL* outbound traffic from *ALL* local ports pass out through your firewall onto the internet. This is because Freenet sets up connections to external nodes and there's no telling which local port numbers it will be using at any time. This is just the same as allowing outbound traffic from an FTP client and, 2. Let *ONLY* inbound traffic *to your freenet port* pass from the internet thru the firewall onto your computer. Your freenet port by the way is the one that shows up on the first page of the Configuration utility, or if you don't use that it's the line in freenet.ini called listenPort If your firewall is also a NAT router, you may also need to enable a mode on the firewall called 'virtual server' - this ensures that inbound requests to this port actually get routed to *your* computer - so you may need to enter your PC's IP address into your firewall configuration. If your firewall is just software-based and installed on the same PC as freenet then you don't need to do this step. - Original Message - From: Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dave Hooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 5:06 PM Subject: Re: [freenet-support] route not found My freenet.log is huge! over 2 megs.

Re: [freenet-support] Installation
The missing file is java. (java is a JRE (java runtime environment), but it's not looking for a file called jre, it's looking for a file called java) Rather than editing javapath and replacing it, why not just symlink /usr/bin/java to wherever you actually have java installed? Much easier in the long run. If your system is already configured to symlink /usr/bin/java to /usr/bin/jsdk-1.4.5.2.1.3.4/dfadsfasdfasdf or whatever then no config needs to change. Also means it's much easier to upgrade to newer versions of java in the future, just change the symlink to point at the new installation of java.

Re: [freenet-support] View Freenet.log
For the first time today I discovered the right-click Menu on the View Freenetlog. I'm well trained. I don't expect a menu on a grayed window! huh? Up until this event (above) the only way I could get anything from the View window for freenet.log was to mark it, then use ctrl-c and then use ctrl-v to put the marked material somewhere useful. But if you wanted to *get* information from the logfile, you wouldn't use tail -f ... would you? You'd actually get sections from the logfile itself. So why should the windows viewer be any different? (excepting that the Copy To Clipboard currently doesn't work) That View window does not have a white client window-field implying in the Windows world that it was likely a unmarkable window, thus unable to extract material from it Dude, *WHAT PLANET ARE YOU ON* ?! Most grey text windows are markable! -- like Microsoft is so helpful about in all it's message windows, so you will be much frustrated in trying to report error message content -- frustrated because most of us are not perfect typists and usually include at least one or two incorrect characters and a missed or added word or two. Right which is why I included the 'mark' functionality just in case anybody wanted it. I never claimed it would be perfect but it's totally consistent with microsoft. Non-white client windows imply UN-EDITABLE, not UN-MARKABLE!! The button at the bottom has always seemed to imply that one can copy out some material from that View window for the freenet.log file. No such luck Because I never wrote the code to do it ... unless one discovers that there is a unimplied right-click window-menu that allows some options that are the method for marking so that the button actually has something accessible for it to paste somewhere. That popup menu is *ALWAYS THERE ON EVERY TEXT WINDOW*. You actually ever used Windows before?! There is nothing on/in the clip board unless one uses this right-click pop-window menu. Hm, so if you don't select Copy then nothing appears in the clipboard. Why are you surprised? Other methods can mark in the client field of the window (usually a no-no, i.e., no-action, but grayed windows, even when they have one or both scroll bars commonly do not permit marking. Commonly in what sense? Dude, pick ANY file on your harddrive, right click it, select Properties, and look at EVERYTHING you can mark... on the grey property page... Here you can mark, but the marker material is not transferred to the clipboard so the clip board does not know about it. Marking something in windows **NEVER** automatically copies to clipboard. You must be on crack. This is the kind of things that mass distributions of software frequently find as unconvential application of abilities even when the public user has no idea how the software works. That view window into the freenet.log file has been one of my greatest frustrations. Don't f**king use it then. It's not really very unconventional at all. It works almost exactly like tail -f but in a Window. It has the added bonus of infinite scrollback. And the button marked Copy To Clipboard does not work because it hasn't been implemented. The next was having nothing appearing useful in the log file until in reached a few megs and then trying to extract the last two dozen lines to send to someone who can read log files and having the results disappear without being read, OR sending the entire log file and having it discarded by the mail system. Then a message, could you send it again? Jesus, if you want to extract a whole bunch of lines from the end of the logfile, say any logfile, say ANY FILE, you pick an editor, load the file, mark off the last few lines, delete the rest of the file, and paste THAT into your email. You don't copy and paste manually from a shell prompt running tail -f, you don't email the entire file.

Yeah, but if =3D is actually in the ini file, then that's bad (right?). - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2004 10:52 AM Subject: Re: [freenet-support] freenet starts and hangs mail escape string for '=' as '=' itself is used to escape special characters No-one seems to have mentioned that your freenet.ini file looks like it is full of junk.

Re: [freenet-support] Startup question
The automatic startup is just a property of Windows. If you don't want something to run automatically, just delete the startup shortcut (it's on your Program Files menu off the Windows menu start button ...). It's not a proprietary technology, it's just a link, and it's the same for every other application in Windows, for every version of Windows. This is THE most obvious solution, and it is surprising you didn't try this yet. Alternatively, when you installed Freenet, if you don't tick the Create shortcuts box on the installer then the installer won't create the startup shortcuts... If you leave that box ticked, then the Freenet installer will create shortcuts which cause it to run automatically... Transient, on the other hand, is NOTHING to do with automatic startup. If you want to know what transient means, try asking in the freenet-dev mailing list. Otherwise, just ignore that and leave it alone. - Original Message - From: Don Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: support@freenetproject.org Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 6:14 PM Subject: [freenet-support] Startup question It appears that Freenet wants to modify the startup section of my Windows config so that it fires up automatically at a reboot. I don't care for this. I want to be able to launch it manually. I hate things starting automatically. Is there any way to change this? I tell Spy Sweeper to remove that, but it comes back almost immediately, even if the Freenet process isn't running. I thought maybe the grayed-out option to set the node to transient would be what controls that, but when I check the option on the Serious Geeks tab to allow me to change those options on the main page, it says it needs to restart the node for changes to take effect. When the node restarts, those options are still grayed out, and the checkbox on the Serious Geeks tab is un-checked again. I also tried looking through Freenet.ini for anything that might apply to the auto-startup, but I didn't find anything about startup or transient anywhere in the ini file. So, since none of the obvious solutions are working, here I am. Anybody know how to do this?

Re: [freenet-support] Getting started question...
Freenet doesn't spider stuff. Your freenet node will cache sites visited by you, and also cache requests made by neighbouring nodes (i.e. stuff requested by *other people*). If none of your neighbouring nodes are forwarding requests to your node, and you don't visit any sites, then Freenet will be idle. It doesn't automatically spider, but maybe it should, it would be pretty cool - Original Message - From: Don Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: support@freenetproject.org Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 6:46 PM Subject: [freenet-support] Getting started question... After initially setting up Freenet, (I set it to announce in the config) will it only download and cache sites I try to visit, or if I leave it running, will it just start to spider stuff automatically up to my store's set MB limit? ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
