[freenet-support] Just Getting Started
Hi, I think I have a relatively decent idea of how freenet works. And if I had a nice broadband connection I could dedicate to freenet, I'd be delighted and I don't think I'd have problems. But for now, my results with freenet have been, to say the least, lackluster. I am currently on dialup internet and using transient mode. Any suggestions on how to make things actually work? I want to just explore and load a few pieces of content... I'm running Mac OS X and don't seem to have problems loading up freenet and whatnot, it's just actually getting it to load content that's basically impossible. I'm more than reasonably terminal-comfortable. And yeah, I know I seriously need broadband. Qwest just brought DSL to my neighborhood and I'll probably sign up pretty soon here, but for now, dialup is where I'm at. Really, if people are trying to use freenet to get sensitive information (the stuff governments want to censor), it's very possible they'll be on dialup also, so I don't think there's quite zero use for dialup, you know... -Galen ___ 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]
