Hi again,

wanted to try Freenet again ;-) - seems to work quite well.
However, those RNFs are really a PITA.

Yes, those RNF pages have meta refresh tags on them; however, that
does not help if 

a) one does not use Fproxy for fetching a file

b) the failing file is an image. In that case it just disappears and
you have to reload the page manually until you have all
images. (alternatively, you can open a browser window/tab for every
single image you want to have; IMHO this is no real solution either.)

For me it seems as Fred is too fail-fast. It may try for a few more
seconds or minutes instead of returning the RNF nearly immediately
(and very often). Putting that retry to the user's side (being it the
browser or a FCP app) is no good idea IMHO.

mihi
