Did another usability test. Problems: - The installer is signed by nextgens. We should change this. But this wasn't reported by the user, it's just my view. - Freenet not only didn't find Firefox (2.0.0.14, english, custom theme), it didn't find any web browser of any kind: it opened a command line with the title "welcome.html" !! I told the user to go back to the download page, and he followed the instruction to open http://127.0.0.1:8888/wizard/ , and from then it was somewhat smooth... http://amphibian.dyndns.org/screenshot-freenet-command-line.bmp http://amphibian.dyndns.org/screenshot-freenet-bratnet.bmp - Freenet is slooooooooow, especially in this case where it had an untweaked browser. After a long delay, two sites loaded, after a longer delay, several sites loaded at once; this strongly suggests imho that the problem is caused by not finding the browser. User reports significant improvement in speed after a few minutes. - Connection limit is definitely a problem: many images which should be in the same container not loading; same for the Potentially Dangerous Content warning. - Freenet Activelink Index causing problems... in an untweaked browser, this site is an utter disaster. Even in a tweaked browser it will DoS the rest for a while. Maybe we shouldn't bundle it?
