A winbox, eh?

Well, there are dozens of freeware and shareware (crack available)
windoze programs to recursively download websites. Sites like
www.tucows.com, www.nonags.com, www.shareware.com etc list them by the
score.

You might need to try a few until you hit on one which doesn't molest
the '//' in freenet URIs.

Once you choose a site downloader program, you'd need to point it at:
- http://localhost:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/TFE//
- http://localhost:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/YoYo//
or, point it at whatever site(s) you need, observing the above URL
syntax. Be sure to disable the timeout (or extend it to an hour or so),
because these crawler progs are used to web performance.

One last thing - these crawler progs won't be able to tell one freesite
from another, since it will perceive all freesites as part of the same
'site' at http://localhost:/. So take care to set a pattern match
requirement (unless you want the crawler to suck the whole freenet).

Cheers
David

You answered your own question, Robert - choose another browser.
Opera and Mozilla are both excellent. My choice would be Mozilla because
of its superior standards compliance.

Your loyalty to Microsoft is horrifically misplaced. M$ internet apps
are the single biggest risk to your online security. Give them up. Use
some *real* softare.

(I won't admonish you here to use a *real* operating system like Linux,
BSD or OSX, because *that* could be seen as trolling.)

Cheers
David

[freenet-support] Internet Censoring - Instructions

Hi Sulema,

I certainly appreciate your concern about the volume of morally unacceptable
content available on the web. It's amazing that all the countries of the
world have not signed treaties banning this perversion once and for all.

However, there is a simple approach you can take, which will guarantee that
you will never be bothered by indecent content again.

What you need to do is set your browser to use the following address as a
proxy server:
Address: 127.0.0.1
Port: 80
You can make this setting in Internet Explorer by clicking on Tools, then
Internet Options, then Connections, then Settings (if on a LAN, click LAN
Settings). Then click 'use a proxy server', and type in the address and port
I mentioned above. Click OK twice, then you're done.

When you make this adjustment, I promise that you will never be exposed to
indecent content again.

> Thank You,
> Sulema

As for prices, Freenet Technical Support works by donation.
Recommended donation amount is $25 US.
To make the donation, click on www.freenetproject.org then click on the

Hope this helps.

[freenet-support] Re: Freenet on WinMe

2001-05-04 Thread David McNab

I must admit I don't know what could be causing this. The only copy I have
of WinME time-bombed last year.
I've cc-ed this reply to the official Freenet support mailing list (which I
*strongly* advise you to sign up to by visiting
http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/support/ )
I do know that WinME has a different TCP/IP stack to other Windows versions
like Win95C/98/2000.

All the best
David

[freenet-support] FreeWeb - new GUI Client

2001-04-21 Thread David McNab



Hi all,
 
Announcing a brand new GUI-based Freenet 
client program.
 
It's called 'FreeWeb', and uses Freenet to 
implement a new World Wide Web over Freenet.
More specifically, it implements a new domain 
called ".free", using an in-Freenet DNS registry.
 
Unlike the mainstream Web, sites published on 
'.free' are immune to takedown demands, and can't be tracked to their 
publishers.
For example, you can publish a site, and create 
URLs on your own domain such as www.blahoo.free
You can also use these URLs to visit other people's 
sites.
 
Features:
* No need to know anything about Freenet keys - no 
more 'freenet:MSK@SSK@whatthehellisallthisgobbledook/somesite//'
* Easy GUI-based upload of websites - just 
drag'n'drop a folder, name the domain and go
* Implements a 'pirate' domain called 
'.free'
* Compatible with any web browser
* Smart configurable anonymity filter blocks web 
bugs
* Secure in-Freenet DNS registry with fully 
automatic domain creation and submission
* Fully compatible with existing 
MSK@SSK@blahblah/sitename// URIs
* Includes a special proxy server, so browsers 
actually see a domain called '.free'. For example, browsers will retrieve 
the URL www.freeweb.free
* Does all the housekeeping involved in uploading 
and updating websites - as many as you want
* Transparently uses Mr Bad's 'freenetmirror' in 
background as the upload engine
* Uploaded sites are automatically listed on www.dns.free (unless author requests 
otherwise)
* cron-friendly - able to update sites in non-gui 
mode
 
FreeWeb is officially alpha code, but basically 
quite safe, stable and functional.
I've squished as many bugs as I can find just now, 
but don't expect it to be totally perfect.
It feels appropriate to put it out for testing now, 
so as it approaches beta and full release, I can make best use of your 
feedback.
 
It's been successfully tested on Windows 98 and 
2000. Hopefully it should also work on Win95C (perhaps B too), and NT 
4.51
Sorry, but at the moment, no Linux or Mac ports are 
available (KDE and Mac developers please get in touch).
 
To find out more, and download your copy, 
visit
http://freeweb.dynodns.net
 
Any bugs, suggestions, bouquets and brickbats, 
please send to me directly - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
Enjoy! :)
David
 


[freenet-support] Quick freenetmirror question

2001-04-18 Thread David McNab



Does the standard '-htl' cli parameter actually 
work with freenetmirror, and cause the site files and mapfile to actually get 
inserted with the given htl parameter?
 
In other words, if I include '-htl 40' in the 
freenetmirror args, does the stuff actually get inserted with an HTL of 
40?
 
Cheers
David
 


Re: [freenet-support] Freenet 0.3.8.1 Win with Sun JDK 1.3.0-C on Win2kSP1 not accepting inserts?

2001-04-14 Thread David McNab

As far as I'm aware, there's been a problem with 0.3.8.1 installer.
What you'll need to do is download the 0.3.8.1 ZIP file, and extract the
files into your freenet install folder.
If this doesn't work, please write to this group again.

Cheers
David
