2006-10-28 Thread toad 
irc.freenode.net is an IRC server, not a web server. You need to
download an IRC client first so you can connect to it. Once you have
connected to #freenet-refs , ask around for some node references. You
can add these to your node from your Darknet page
( http://127.0.0.1:/darknet/ ).

Note that this kludgish bootstrapping process is only necessary because
Freenet 0.7 is currently exclusively "darknet". This means manually
established connections; theoretically these are F2F ("friend-to-friend")
connections, and of course if you know anyone already on freenet,
connecting to them is the best option. The purpose of this is to build a
network which cannot be automatically mapped by an attacker (such as the
chinese government; once they've found all the nodes, they can block all
the nodes). Unfortunately most freenet users don't have any friends who
are already using Freenet. We will fix this shortly via an "opennet"
mechanism that allows people to get started quickly, but less securely,
without knowing anyone on Freenet. However opennet is not likely to be
ready for a few months, so I suggest that you get an IRC client, and get
some node references. You can get help from here, or from the #freenet
IRC channel on the same network.

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 references. However, freenet 0.7 and 0.5 are two completely
separate networks. There is no connection between them. However, there
are still a lot of people on 0.5, as 0.7 is incomplete and, we feel,
has quite a few flaws. Of course, most of the people on here will
disagree with me on that...but the point is, both 0.5 and 0.7 have a
large amount of users that trust them, I personally am a user of 0.5,
and I think 0.5 is a LOT easier to get started with.
Anyways, here's where you can get 0.5:
