Yes, that is normal. People are downloading files from you. That's how
Freenet works.

You really ought to get a second mailing list for the 0.7 network.
Because I'm pretty sure no one here cares until there's an opennet.

With 0.5's opennet you don't have to exchange node references. At all.
Your node does it for you. And you'll usually have around 400
connections with the default settings. And 0.5 has more content and
probably more users, though I'm not sure on that one.

0.7 isn't a stable version either. It's a not nearly completed, far
from functional version.

It has no opennet. As far as I'm concerned, it's useless.

Freenet 0.5 is an opennet. You connect to any random node that happens
to be on. Freenet 0.7 doesn't have this yet. In 0.7, there is no main
network. There might be now, but the idea of the way it currently is
setup is to allow small groups to connect without connecting to
everyone else. Pretty
0.7 is currently darknet only. 0.5 is opennet only.

"As I see it 0.7 relies on a bunch of people hooking up by sharing node

Yea, but you don't know all the nodes in the network, you just know
the ones your connected to. So if one of those links between the
networks goes down, half your downloads stall out and die. And
wouldn't that put a pretty big strain on certain computers? I mean, if

Exactly. The theory of a darknet is you connect to people that you
already know and trust. Now, there's a good chance of getting a
worldwide-net because someone in group A may know and trust someone in
group B, but chances are that not all of group A knows all of group B.

You are far from the first person to have a problem with getting node
refs for Freenet 0.7. I'm gonna say what I tell everyone else: Don't
use 0.7. It's pretty much experimental. There's a good reason a large
number of us are holding on to 0.5, a big one for me being that it's a
true opennet
All the download links on that page are 0.5. If you're on windows hit
the 'freenet-java-webinstall.exe' link, if on linux/unix use the
'freenet-stable-latest.tgz'

Well, on Linux I know all you have to do is delete the files, it
doesn't run automatically though. On windoze, there's an uninstall
file. So look for an uninstall file, and if you don't have one, just
delete it.

You need to connect to irc.freenode.net with an IRC client, not your
web browser.
Try mirc, which is available here:
http://www.mirc.com/get.html
You could also (and I highly recommend this approach) try downloading
Freenet 0.5 instead, which does not require you to manually gather
node
Mine didn't.
I'm running 0.5 on Linux.
When I ran 0.5 on WinXP, it hit 100% CPU usage half an hour after I

Mebbe it's a problem in 0.7?

So I had this exact same problem before, and I fixed it by using a
different linux distro (switch from slackware back to Mandriva 2006).
But now I'm on the distro that worked a year later (Mandriva 2007) and
it's no longer working. But I'm a bit smarter now, so I'm hoping I can
get it figured out.
Hmm. I commented them out, and now it APPEARS to run fine, but it doesn't.

Ensure that freenet is actually running. Personally I run Linux and Freenet
0.5, but I'm thinking it'll probably be about the same. Just look for and
run 'start-freenet.sh'. It might take a while for that to start up, so give
it a few minutes before trying to get to 127.0.0.1:.

Well, the entire point of Freenet is that nobody can know where the data
originated. So if you're asking if there's a way to only get data inserted
by nodes you're friends with - no. That would defeat the purpose of Freenet.

You would search for files by either finding them on websites (check
http://localhost: if you haven't already) or using the search
feature of frost.

well, unless something's changed in the newer versions (I still use
