This was with a total of 19 peers at the time. If it's showing that, then you have a sufficiently recent version of Freenet running, and it is almost certainly running without any major network problems.

You're probably looking for the command "cd" as in "cd c:\program files\". Or, more generally: http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+command+line+introduction > > Anyway, I'm about fed up with it.

In general, when the Freenet documentation doesn't explain the details, that's because it's a normal part of using your computer that is not specific to Freenet. For example, uninstalling is done through the control panel on Windows, apt on Debian, emerge on Gentoo, and other methods on other OSes. That means that googling for general instructions on how to do such things on your computer will help.

Out of curiosity, where are you finding all these old builds? It didn't occur to you to visit http://freenetproject.org > Download? :P > How do I uninstall Freenet 1233, Freemail, Frost etc.? If there is no "uninstall" shortcut in your start menu, or if it doesn't appear in the "Add/Remove Programs" thingy, simply delete the directories -- cuz, clearly they were installed manually, and thus didn't make any additional registry changes nor added any other files in other system folders. > I am not a command line person but have tried several things. > 'cmd' and then tried to go to the Freenet directory or folder to > change what others have suggested.

No. Java is almost certainly a separate package that is used for lots of other different things (unfortunately ;b). > If uninstall goes successfully I intend to install again, but do I > install Thunderbird before or after Freemail? It doesn't matter :P. But to add/access your Freemail account info (ie. your new shiny localhost imap and smtp freemail server), obviously you'll need to have Freemail running (either as a standalone Java process, or as a plugin if you put Freemail.jar in freenet's plugins/ subdirectory, or as a plugin if you add it somehow via freenet's fproxy web interface in the Plugins tab.) > Does Frost come after Freenet? I am assuming so on both counts but > assuming isn't for sure. Yes. Freenet is like the transport/storage layer, and Frost is like a download manager that sits on top of that layer. Same with Freemail -- it uses Freenet's transport layer to distribute email. > Okay. I'll take some more deep breaths. :D.

[freenet-support] Freenet uninstall for new Build install

(Unless, of course, you're sending info you'd like kept private.) Sorry about that. I will post to support from now on and thank you for directing me to the proper procedures. I like that. I think I'm sort of averaging around 8-10 peers. I accidentally clicked something and it opened a separate tab showing "connected and one "busy". This was with a total of 19 peers at the time. I don't know about this next thing. The Freenet Installer icon was on my desktop. I just put it into a folder. When I opened the folder to look at it (for no good reason), there was the icon with these words; Freenet Installer- 1233. The Freenet page that opens says 1236. Like I said, I downloaded a new one yesterday but it's called, "freenet-0.7.0-rc1.new-install. The site said it was the latest. That doesn't look like the latest to me. I have found Build 1236 and will install it. How do I uninstall Freenet 1233, Freemail, Frost etc.? I am not a command line person but have tried several things. 'cmd' and then tried to go to the Freenet directory or folder to change what others have suggested. I also tried 'promt', then typing in the path but can't get past this message: C:\Program\Files\Freenet\ is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. Anyway, I'm about fed up with it. I keep searching but cannot find anything that tells me 'how' to do certain things. The instructions only say this is what one needs to do. I repeat, I need to know "how". My best bet seems to be completely uninstalling it all so please some-anyone, does that also mean Java or will that uninstall with a Freenet uninstall? If uninstall goes successfully I intend to install again, but do I install Thunderbird before or after Freemail? Does Frost come after Freenet? I am assuming so on both counts but assuming isn't for sure. Okay. I'll take some more deep breaths.
