(Unless, of course, you're sending info you'd like kept private.) Sorry about that. I will post to support from now on and thank you for directing me to the proper procedures. I like that. I think I'm sort of averaging around 8-10 peers. I accidentally clicked something and it opened a separate tab showing "connected and one "busy". This was with a total of 19 peers at the time. I don't know about this next thing. The Freenet Installer icon was on my desktop. I just put it into a folder. When I opened the folder to look at it (for no good reason), there was the icon with these words; Freenet Installer- 1233. The Freenet page that opens says 1236. Like I said, I downloaded a new one yesterday but it's called, "freenet-0.7.0-rc1.new-install. The site said it was the latest. That doesn't look like the latest to me. I have found Build 1236 and will install it. How do I uninstall Freenet 1233, Freemail, Frost etc.? I am not a command line person but have tried several things. 'cmd' and then tried to go to the Freenet directory or folder to change what others have suggested. I also tried 'promt', then typing in the path but can't get past this message: C:\Program\Files\Freenet\ is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. Anyway, I'm about fed up with it. I keep searching but cannot find anything that tells me 'how' to do certain things. The instructions only say this is what one needs to do. I repeat, I need to know "how". My best bet seems to be completely uninstalling it all so please some-anyone, does that also mean Java or will that uninstall with a Freenet uninstall? If uninstall goes successfully I intend to install again, but do I install Thunderbird before or after Freemail? Does Frost come after Freenet? I am assuming so on both counts but assuming isn't for sure. Okay. I'll take some more deep breaths. Thanks every-anyone. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

It could be quite useful to encrypt downloads though, and/or Freenet itself...

[freenet-support] elettra, a supplementary way to encrypt files on your harddisk
I happened to find this, on another mailing list. Elettra might be supplementary to freenet users, a supplementary way to encrypt important data on your harddisk? This might saw some ideas to the Freenet "people". WHAT'S ELETTRA ? Elettra is a software providing plausible deniable cryptography. It supports a dynamic number of files and requires a password for each file. When you need to decrypt a file, the password is able to find in the encrypted archive the file related to it. the security measure is in the protection of the number of files encrypted in the archive, because the algorithm is thought to give a plausible ammission that the data unencrypted is simple random data, and only one file is encrypted in it. Here are some important links: http://www.phrack.org/issues.html?issue=65&id=6#article http://www.winstonsmith.info/julia/elettra/ Just for your info. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
Re: [freenet-support] Freenet version
Maybe he is reading the message wrong and it is saying his Java version is too old?

(Unless, of course, you're sending info you'd like kept private.) I have no idea why it would be saying you need to update, given that you have the latest version. If you look at your stats page, in the Peer Statistics box, how many peers does it show? Ideally, you should have a moderate number (~10-40, depending on bandwidth) as either CONNECTED of BACKED OFF (aka BUSY), with most of those CONNECTED. If your version truly is old, it will show a few peers as TOO NEW. Do you have connected peers? Do you have peers that are too new?
