It depends on how big the ISP is, how determined it is, what sort of hardware 
is available, etc. It is true that there may be some recognisable patterns in 
our current traffic: there aren't fixed signature bytes as in 0.5 and as in 
most protocols, but there may be other possibilities for fingerprinting at that 
level. Eventually we will support steganographic transports ("make it look like 
HTTP/VoIP/whatever"), at which point it is rather more difficult, but traffic 
flow analysis will probably still allow identifying nodes with reasonable 
accuracy - assuming you have the hardware for it - just like any peer to peer 
network can be identified. Of course, the ultimate sanction would be to simply 
block all communications between IPs listed by the RBLs as domestic! Long term 
I would like to see non-internet transports e.g. wifi, sneakernet, etc, which 
might enable Freenet to survive even in a very hostile network environment. 
However, so far most countries with national firewalls have not been very 
sophisticated...

Re: [freenet-support] storage stats bug

So it starts off at 0 bytes because there are no keys. And when you reconnect, 
and have connections, and are able to access freesites, it is still 0 bytes on 
the stats page?

Generally there are 2 reasons for a mandatory:
1) An important security fix, which we want everyone to have as soon as 
possible, or
2) An important network behaviour fix, ditto. Because Freenet is an emergent 
system, having half of the network behaving in the old way and half of it 
behaving in the new way is likely both messy and very problematic.

You could if we asked you about proxies...

I have no idea what is happening, but you should use the uninstaller.

Argh. 1238 was released built for Java 1.6. I am sorry, 1239 will be built for 
1.5, 1.5 will be end-of-lined by Sun soon but it is still true afaik that some 
platforms (notably older macs) only have 1.5. I will release a testing snapshot 
soon which is built against 1.5, will notify here.

This is because the certificate is configured to use SHA-1 but gpg is 
configured to use SHA-256 for digest. You should be able to verify this ...

[freenet-support] Bug report

2009-11-03 Thread Jérémy Farnaud

Hello, i've had a problem with Freenet, the message is the following:

1 des noeuds auxquels vous êtes connectés ont de sérieux problèmes  
(données non reconnues même après 10 minutes). Ceci est probablement  
dû a un bug dans le code. Veuillez svp nous faire un rapport en  
utilisant le gestionnaire de bug à l'adresse suivante : https://bugs.freenetproject.org/ 
 ou sur la mailing de support supp...@freenetproject.org. Veuillez  
indiquer ce message et la version utilisé par votre noeud. Les noeuds  
concernés (vous pouvez ne pas vouloir inclure ceux connectés en  
darknet) sont :

88.107.27.200:31413

./run.sh status returns: Freenet 0.7 is running (10131).
