Are you sure it said that they were saved to a temporary *folder*, or to *temporary space*? I believe it's referring to an internal temporary structure, that can't be (easily) directly accessed from the filesystem. One option you have is to re-download it, and make sure to save it to your downloads folder. It should take much less (perhaps no) time to download it again since it'll probably be using your own cached data. Do the files still appear on your Downloads page? Perhaps there is an option to commit them into your downloads folder? ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

Thanks again. The update that Freenet is referring to is changing the version of the software to a newer one; this is not the same thing at all as changing configuration settings. Freenet should be able to update itself, but first you need to get it connected. On the stats page (found at http://127.0.0.1:/stats/ ), you can find how many peers you are connected to (under the peer statistics box, count both connected and backed off peers). This number should be greater than zero, but I suspect that in your case it is not. When Freenet says you should connect to friends, it means that literally. Friends are people you know and trust; you get them by talking to people. They can be people you know in real life or from the Internet, but they should be real people you know and trust. Freenet does not have any special meaning for the word that's different than the ordinary one. Most people don't know anyone using Freenet, and so can't connect to Friends. That's fine, Freenet can still work, but it is less secure. Your node (ie the copy of the Freenet software that you are running) needs to talk to other nodes; these nodes are the ones most able to figure out what you are doing. If you don't know anyone running Freenet, then those nodes will be run by strangers; that's fine, but obviously less secure. Because of the reduced security inherent in letting your Freenet node talk to strangers, Freenet requires explicit confirmation that this is ok. That's what the security level settings are for; in order to use opennet (allowing your node to talk to strangers), which is the only way to run Freenet if you don't have any friends using it, you need to go to the security levels config page ( http://127.0.0.1:/seclevels/ ) and set the level for Protection against a stranger attacking you over the Internet to Normal. If you had set that level to High previously, it would cause (some of the) problems you are seeing. Was that the case? Does changing it help? The IP address and port forwarding problems are a bit technical. For the first, go to a site like http://www.whatismyip.com/ and type the number it gives you into the IP Address Hint box. For port forwarding, you'll need to go to the configuration options for your router or firewall; this may be a separate physical box, or it may be integrated into your cable / dsl modem. It should have come with instructions on how to get to the configuration page. Follow those, and forward the ports as requested by Freenet. If you're using a software firewall, the same basic procedure applies. If you need more detailed help than that, I suggest looking up port forwarding on Google, or asking for more info here.
