If files are your thing, you might do better to check out I2P:
http://www.i2p.net/
Freenet is not well suited to sharing lots of files. There's a BitTorrent
set-up in the works for I2P as well.
Freenet fits the traditional communication model better; things like blogs
("flogs") and the occasional moderate-sized file propagate easier and stay in
Freenet longer. If you'd like to share your opinions as well as your files,
you're welcome and encouraged to set up a site in Freenet.
There's a wiki at:
http://www.freenethelp.org/
As for the Data Not Found (DNF) messages, how much uptime have you given your
node? It takes a while to get integrated. If you're getting DNF on
*everything*, starting with the gateway page, then you probably need to give
your node more time to integrate. Leave it running.
Even then you have to understand that stuff falls of the network. Even if FIND
or TFE has a freenet site listed, it may still be just gone forever. The best
you can do is load it up and let it sit there and reload itself over and over.
If it hasn't loaded after ~12 hours, it's really gone.

Check every once in a while to see if you can load something. It'll need at least five hours of uninterrupted operation before it starts to retrieve stuff, and then another good chunk of time before it'll start reliably retrieving stuff. What I've noticed is that Freenet benefits greatly from as much operation time as you can give it. Meaning, it's not a simple ramp up to expected operation. The ramp keeps going and going. A slim possibility, based on your report, is that you have a real problem in the set up. Try the above time-giving first. While you're waiting, you can visit: https://freenet.thing.net/gateways/ It's a list of public Freenet gateways.

Okay, well, my logging is set to Normal. When I start up the node, I get a log entry for "Starting Freenet", many more, and then an entry for "starting ListenSelector", which appears to be the last "starting up" type message. The next entry is from NIOInputStream and says "waited more than 12ms in NIOIS.read()" blah blah blah. Am I to assume that the ListenSelector message means the node is fully started? If it's *starting* something, then obviously the node is *not* fully started, but, lacking a blatant "Node is started" log statement, the ListenSelector statement will do, correct? The doIndex part comes before ListenSelector is started, right? Okay, in case I just twisted you in English knots, I'll restate the original purpose. I want to time how long it takes the node to start, and compare with doIndex equals true and false. To time the node, I check the logs. Start time is "Starting Freenet". End time is "starting ListenSelector".

This isn't true. For one thing, there've been people on this list who use dial-up, and claim that it works just fine. For another thing, the node doesn't have to re-learn the network every time it starts. There may be a minor, two or three minute, delay in functioning, but not the hours that learning takes. Logically, re-learning is only necessary when the actual state of the network is different than the what's in the nodes routing table. Most of the nodes that are going to be in a node's routing table are the ones that are useful. The ones that are useful are the larger, more permanent nodes run by broadband users with some dedication to the project, yes? Those nodes don't change that often. My node runs pretty close to 24/7. I doubt the problem above is due (directly) to the node being on a modem line. As long as the node is given a few hours to run once in a while it should be fine. Never as good as a broadband node, but not useless. As Robert wrote, the node worked fine before. -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[freenet-support] Gentoo Freenet Script
If you're running Freenet from a Portage-installed package on Gentoo, the
following script will work.
--
#!/bin/sh
# Freenet Wrapper Script
if [ ${1} == "start" ]; then
echo "/etc/init.d/freenet start"
/etc/init.d/freenet start
fi
if [ ${1} == "stop" ]; then
echo "/etc/init.d/freenet stop"
/etc/init.d/freenet stop
fi
if [ ${1} == "restart" ]; then
echo "/etc/init.d/freenet restart"
/etc/init.d/freenet restart
fi
# The most important part follows. This is to
# update the node. The others are almost as easy
# to do myself, from the command line. But the
# update script is the heart of the matter.
if [ ${1} == "update" ]; then
cp -f /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar.old
/usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar.ancient
cp -f /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar.old
wget http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar -O
/usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar
wget http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/seednodes.ref.bz2 -O
/var/freenet/seednodes.ref.bz2
bunzip2 -f /var/freenet/seednodes.ref.bz2
touch -d "1/1/1970" /var/freenet/seednodes.ref
chown freenet:freenet /var/freenet/seednodes.ref
fi
--
Call this script "freenet" and add it to your $PATH and running/administering
Freenet becomes a matter of typing 'freenet start'. This may not be useful,
it's almost just as easy to type '/etc/init.d/freenet start', or you may have
'rc-update add freenet default' in the past. But the fourth option 'freenet
update' is where it gets interesting. The default install of Freenet, via
Portage, requires you to type that god-awful ebuild-config-wait-2-seconds
thing. Once you get that typed in you have the problem of wget nuking your
Freenet jar if freenetproject.org is down. This happened to me. Wget tried to
overwrite the freenet.jar, but since the website was down, got no further than
the 0th byte, leaving me with no Freenet. =(
The above script fixes both of these issues. It simplifies the command to
update Freenet, and it makes a backup of freenet.jar before downloading the new
one.
Caveats: It actually makes two backups. This is probably not useful to anybody.
You can remove the creation of the second backup. Also, this doesn't handle
updating unstable nodes. But if you're running unstable, you're more than
likely not running a Portage ebuild of Freenet. Third caveat, I suppose, is
that this doesn't give you a 'freenet config' command. 'vi /etc/freenet.conf'.

Steve: This is interesting. If you don't submit a bug report to
bugs.gentoo.org, I will. This script, /usr/bin/start-freenet.sh is essentially
another method of running Freenet on Gentoo, the other being
'/etc/init.d/freenet start'. The init script correctly sets JVM memory usage,
but the above doesn't, of course. The init script properly sets memory usage
by looking in /etc/conf.d/freenet. In /etc/conf.d/freenet, the environment
variable called "$JAVA_OPTIONS" is set to "-Xmx256M", by default.
There are two ways you could fix this. 1) is to change the above script to
somehow have the "-Xmx256M" option passed to ${JAVA}, along with what's already
there. Either add it directly or set $JAVA_OPTIONS and add that. 2) is to run
Freenet from the initscript, which requires being root.
Number 2, of course, is much better than number 1. For one thing, your number 1
will get overwritten in the future.
Let me/us know if you still have problems.

[freenet-support] The Windows Installer
Reason for email: I just installed Freenet on a Windows machine. This wasn't an update, this was a fresh install. I told the Windows installer to not create "shortcuts", but it did. This is strange, because it hasn't done this before. I went through step-by-step, and when I got to the place where I could check "Do Not Create Shortcuts" I checked it. Yet, I get a Freenet icon on the desktop, a Freenet program group entry in the Start Menu, and a Freenet shortcut in the Startup folder. This was for 5090. When I updated to 5091 I told it again to not create shortcuts and, again, it did. Outstanding Issues: On another note, whether or not Freenet starts up when Windows starts should be separate from whether or not to create shortcuts. They're logically different (especially for those who don't know how a user sets a program to startup automatically) and the choice has been separated in every other Windows installer I've ever seen, making it the expected behavior. On yet another note, can't we have a separate build updater? Separate from the installer, I mean. It doesn't make sense to answer where I want the installation to go on the filesystem, and whether or not to create shortcuts, when I'm updating an existing installation. update.bat? -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

There's currently an issue with the seednodes.ref file. It's big. So big, in fact, that loading it into memory causes an out-of-memory condition.

You *must* have set up a node. It's the node that gives you that message. You may have to let the node run for longer. Let Freenet run for as long as you can.

That ipAddress setting has to be your current IP address, and if you have DSL, and a dynamic IP address, then you'd have to keep opening up the config file, editing in the new IP address when it changed, and then restarting Freenet, so it reads in the new IP address. Better is to not put in an IP address at all. Better still is to get set up with something like DynDNS.org. They'll provide you with a permanent domain name that redirects to whatever your current dynamic IP is. You just have to set up a client on your computer that will check your IP and inform DynDNS.org when it changes. They can help you with that part. And, ipAddress can be a domain name, as in with DynDNS.org and the like. -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

What OS and distro are you using? Some kind of Unix? Some kind of Linux? If
Linux, which distro? If you're running Gentoo (unlikely), then try installing
Freenet from 'emerge freenet' and run 'rc-update add freenet default'.
Really, without knowing your OS, there's not much help to be had. If you're
feeling adventurous, you can check out my script below. The start() function
is probably what you'll want to look at. Notice the CLASSPATH variable. You
need to have freenet.jar and freenet-ext.jar in there.

Re: [freenet-support] RE: trouble getting any information
> I am running Win XP with IE and Zonealarm Pro (active and switched off, no > difference). Please don't use IE with Freenet. You don't want to compromise your anonymity, whether you now feel you need it or not. As for the problem you describe, it may be that you just need to keep running Freenet. When I've gotten those messages (and everything should have been okay) I've noticed that they just go away after a while. A small possibility is that everything *is* running okay, but your node doesn't know about enough other nodes yet, and the few it does know about maybe rejected your node's advances because they were too busy at the moment. Like a busy signal on the telephone. Remember also that Freenet, unlike other peer to peer networks, doesn't offer the convenience of turning it on only when you want. For the node to work at all well, it needs to integrate itself into the network. When I started my last office job, I learned everyone's name and got on a conversation-basis with them sometime before I actually was able to get in on the rumor distribution chain. It's roughly the same (in effect) with Freenet. Run it as much as possible until you can reliably retrieve a few sites. On the other hand, maybe there's a config problem? Maybe try re-seeding the node, by running freenet-webinstall.exe again. -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [freenet-support] PROBLEM: clean install with XP :-(

And I'm a dyndns user so i fixed it in > .ini > > I'M UNABLE TO DISPLAY ANY PAGE :- ( How many times have you tried? How long did you give it? What is the message you get? There are two basic types of message: "Data Not Found" and "Route Not Found". Route Not Found is bad if true, but sometimes they're not really true. Data Not Found is no problem. If you're getting Data Not Found just keep trying. Open the gateway page, the main page, and then open all the links and let it sit and try to load. Your new Freenet node will take a while to integrate into the rest of the network. It sucks, but you just have to give it time. If you left it running continuously, I would give it a couple days to integrate fairly well. If you don't run it continuously, run it as much as possible. Either way, keep requesting pages. The HTML given to you when you get a "Data Not Found" message has a meta-refresh tag, so if you leave it sit there it'll reload itself. Let it do this. The more stuff you request and re-request, the more integrated your node will become. The more integrated your node becomes, the quicker and more reliable surfing Freenet will be. -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
