Allowing anyone to host Freenet clients for download only makes it more likely that at some time someone will host a Freenet client that actively compromises anonymity - for the user of that client, and maybe, networked together to perform traffic analysis and compromise others not running that client. This is a problem. If the Freenet CVS isn't secured enough to only allow core developers to submit, that need to be fixed. If it is - there's no problem. No one asks for releases personally certified by Toad or Ian - but a way to _know_ that the Freenet client comes from the Freenet project and not Joe Doe. I must confess that I would assume no Freenet client is released without someone manually checking the submitted code against privacy leaks, new developers shouldn't be able to submit code otherwise. I played with the idea of mailing this list, with a spoofed from (Toad, client update) and a link using a few well known Internet Explorer tricks that hides the true URL, and see how many people I could get to download a fake client. I didn't, though, since I guess more than a few people here might be all too upset by such a little scam. The easiest solution is to give out Freenet-links to the new versions, right? I'd still like to see a full blown digital signature solution, but in the mean time it's "good enough" if people already running Freenet know they can update their client within Freenet, from a well-known key. ___/ _/ -- http://troed.se - controversial views or common sense? ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support
Re: [freenet-support] Request for including your software in our database
Thank you. The actual version of the software was 0.4. We are way behind 1.0, let alone 4.0. The current officially released version is 0.5.2, which you can get from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-0.5.2.1.tar.gz (for *nix), or http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-0.5.2.1.src.tar.bz2 . The windows version is normally installed via the lightweight installer, which will download other required components: http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-webinstall.exe If you want to include the other required components for a particular version, rather than depending on downloading from our site, they are: NodeConfig.exe (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/NodeConfig.exe ) freenet.exe (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet.exe ) The README (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/README ) freenet-ext.jar (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-ext.jar ) freenet.jar (from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar ) The official download page, which I suggest you mirror rather than or as well as the Cnet page you current mirror is at: http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=download You may redistribute, repackage, and modify freenet as much as you like under the terms of the GNU General Public License; simply, you may do whatever you want with it apart from preventing others from doing so, or removing attributions. IANAL though - check the GPL itself, which is included in the source, or from the FSF (fsf.org), if there is any ambiguity. Thanks for contacting us and good luck with your project.

[freenet-support] Stable build 5061
Freenet stable build 5061 is now available. The snapshots have been updated. Get it via the update.sh script on Linux, BSD, or OS/X, or use the freenet-webinstall.exe utility to update on Windows, or get the jar from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar . All stable branch users should upgrade. The major change is a change to routing that takes what was done in 5060 in the opposite direction, sort of... if every node rejects us, we will try the backed off nodes, but we will do it only after trying all the non-backed-off nodes. This strategy appears to have been working for local requests, before 5060, so maybe it will work more widely. This is also how we use backoff on NGRouting... anyway, all stable nodes should be upgraded as soon as possible. In practice it should improve the local node's performance irrespective of other nodes, in that it reduces the number of RNFs and increases the chance of finding data, but it may also increase the overall network load.. we may have taken it too far in the other direction in 5060. The only local cost is that it may take longer for requests to fail. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.

'Automatically detect settings' makes IE hail your ISP for proxy configuration and thereafter use the proxy the ISP gives you back for every single web page you are fetching from the net... Seems that the problem here is that your ISP has a broken automatic configuration script. This brokenness causes your your browser to ask the ISP:s proxy to fetch a page from itself and then send it to you.. A non-broken configuration script would make your browser ask your own machine for the page instead (and that is where it actually resides). Not using a proxy is 'normal browsing'. Just untick the 'automatically detect settings' checkbox and see if you can browse the web correctly that way.. You can always turn it back on again if it doesn't.. This feature is mostly used in enterprises, not so much for home internet connections. > Why on earth is this proving to be so complicated... *sigh* No other > p2p software I've got has had the slightest hiccup associated with > the transition to cable -- the speed boost and stabler connections > are all they seem to notice. :) Try accessing BearShares localhost web interface for instance..

The problem has nothing to do with the actual content but rather with how it is delivered to the browser If the url is something like file:///yyy/zz.html the files are read directly from your local drive If the url is something like http:///yyy/zz.html the files are requested from a web server running on machine '' The proxy settings in IE only applies to http server connections. ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support

[freenet-support] New node not working..."500 server error" from 127.0.0.1:8888.
Got the windows webinstall executable and ran it less than 2 hours ago. Node may or may not be running ok, but fproxy is definitely on the blink. Looked at (without altering) the options, and nothing is obviously bad, such as say fproxy being turned off. Symptom: Server Error The following error occurred: Bad URL -- -- Please contact the administrator. at 127.0.0.1: in ie 6.x. I know my ISP (cable) has some sort of wonky caching of web pages, as evidenced by intermittent random 500- series errors I never got on dial-up and the odd out-of-date page coming up but not when I hit "refresh". But their webcache shouldn't affect loopback, should it? Which suggests maybe a NAT router/firewall issue, save that I don't have any real reason to believe I even have one. The installer brought a cable modem of the Toshiba brand, and that's it. If it has a built-in NAT router it's less than obvious how to configure it in the manner the FAQ suggests, given that the sole UI the device provides is about half a dozen blinking lights. Of course, there's the network status icon in the systray... It reveals an IP address of 24.192.41.163, and since nothing is firewalling external connections on weird ports as evidenced by being able to play Quake over this connection, maybe nothing else needs be configured save to manually put this in the freenet.ini. That, and change it every week, since it doesn't seem to be stable on longer timescales, even without a reboot. Tried that and no go. So I subscribe reluctantly to Yet Another Mailing List and lo! and behold, "Mailing list subscription confirmation notice for mailing list Support We have received a request from 66.185.84.80 for subscription..." 66.185.what?! That's not the IP Windows is reporting. Some kind of NAT is going on, then. (Weirdly, this hasn't stopped people being able to connect to a Quake server if I host one and tell them the 24.somethingorother IP...maybe separate addresses for incoming and outgoing data?) Anyway, something needs to be done here and I'm afraid I don't know what. Putting the 66.whatever address in the freenet.ini didn't do beans, at least on its own, and communicating some kind of port forwarding information to this cable modem seems impossible, unless it can be done either by a) staring at the blinking lights until the modem is hypnotised, then using a post-hypnotic suggestion that a port be forwarded or b) somehow launching the configuration tool for the modem driver despite the minor niggling problem of this tool's not existing and the driver's also not existing, and then finding the "port forwarding" tab, which presumably also doesn't exist, and entering some numbers and mumblety-peg in it before clicking the (nonexistent, no doubt) "ok" button. Any suggestions? While we're at it, two niggling issues: 1. Once you've accessed the right click menu on the freenet tray icon, the tooltip status indication can no longer be made to present itself by any amount of mouse hovering -- I think it ran out of fuel and crashed into the little bunny rabbit making an unholy mess before I gave up. :) 2. The Web site has a couple minor issues, and a major one, which is that at the bottom of the tools page the link titled "here" for contributing ideas is a big fat 404. Finding and identifying the minor issues is left as an exercise for the reader. I also want to note here that the listserv's confirmation URLs are too long for at least one popular mail client to handle correctly, forcing the manual copy and paste method that nobody likes. In future, please send confirmation URLs that are no longer than 95 characters. I doubt the one I got (103 characters) honestly needed to be *quite* that long and still do its job. :) ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support
