I did remove everything from the HDD. I used fdisk,wrote to zero,reformatted the hd, reinstalled the OS and all the programs that had been on there that I could salvage.Freenet was not one I could salvage.So when I reinstalled it with ver. 9091 I would reseed . After I turned the box off(no broadband) I lost all the node references that I had just installed from the reseed. I had 117 or so node references at midnight and in the am I had between 7 and 20. Since you state that my lack of broadband is the problem I'll discontinue using freenet until such time as I do have it. Thanks for the help.
