Because we haven't implemented pause yet? :) But yes, it's a good idea. > > The stop and restart buttons currently are on the first page. > > But maybe all these options could be moved to a "manage your node" or > "maintenance" page. Perhaps, or perhaps we need a status line, which could include simple vs advanced mode, color coded security levels, pause vs un-pause, shutdown, restart, language selector, and a count of non-serious alerts? This would not take up very much space vertically and could probably be manageable horizontally. > > Configuration, Statistics and Reachability could also go there.

Although we already have "Bulk Downloads", and we don't want to get rid of it ... maybe better document it? "Bulk Downloads" -> "Download files by key" ??? And then on the Browse Freenet page, "Fetch a Key (CHK, SSK, USK)" -> "Fetch a freesite by key" ??? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
