You don't need the manual, just leave Frost running for a few hours or days and it'll get lots of messages; the UI isn't hard to pick up. > > All in all, I have to say Freenet is a very frustrating experience to a > newbie. > Is it always this slow, did I do something wrong, or have I picked a bad day? Unfortunately, freenet's architecture is not able to instantly provide the level of performance that a mature node will eventually attain, because of the node learning about the network and vice versa. This has advantages in that it discourages leaching, but it means that new nodes are usually a bit slow.. we have tried to improve on this and will probably make further efforts in future. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
