That is a strange error. I suggest that you try redownloading the webinstall program and trying again. Of course, that probably won't solve the problem, but it's worth a try.
Look in your Freenet directory and see if all the other files (besides the snapshot) have been installed. The following files should be there: COPYING.txt docs <dir> fclient.exe FLaunch.ini freenet-ext.jar freenet.exe freenet.ini freenet.jar* [the freenet snapshot] freenet.log* fserve.exe fservew.exe myOwn.ref* [your node ref, not present if first install] Nodeconfig.exe node_16966* [not present if first install, number may difer] prng.seed seednodes.ref stats <dir> store_16966* [not presend if first install, number may difer] Uninstall-Freenet.exe UpdateSnapshot.exe If all of the files except the starred ones are present, simply download the snapshot on your own and rename it to "freenet.jar". Your node should run fine. If there are files missing, please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I can find some way to send them to you. They are all less that a megabyte combined. I hope this helps.
