Did you use a recent installer? If it's an old one, UpdateSnapshot might be trying to grab seednodes.ref uncompressed and from somewhere it isn't anymore. If it's a slightly less old installer it might be an issue with coralCDN latency and short timeouts. Either way, it should work fine with the latest UpdateSnapshot ... you can get just that from http://bob.sdf-eu.org/freenet/UpdateSnapshot.exe, or download a new installer and use that. (I help maintain the official installers though so if you don't trust me you're screwed either way ;) -- big performance data snip -- The problem is you have no connections, incoming or outgoing. You appear to only have 2 node references, both of them presumably uncontactable, so I think your seednodes.ref file is a tiny truncated one. Try updating with the latest UpdateSnapshot linked above, or if you'd prefer for the time being manually download a new one to e.g. c:\Program Files\Freenet\ from one of the zipped copies at http://downloads.freenetproject.org/seednodes/, and overwrite your presumably tiny one with it.
