  What's your advice?
 
 It's very probably it is a false positive that has to do with our
 installer/packer software.  Future editions will not be compressed
 using this so we can avoid this issue.  Not sure just when they will
 make this change in the releasing scripts, though.

IIRC it's already changed. But it seems very unlikely given it is compiled on 
wine on a dedicated user ... conceivably it could be infected if the compiler 
was infected when I downloaded it but I'd think we'd have heard about that 
before now; and it seems very unlikely anyway.

IMHO it is more likely that either:
- It is a false positive. Scan it with a different anti-virus program. IMHO 
this is the most likely reason; some virus signatures are very broad and pick 
up things they shouldn't. OR:
- The file was tampered with before it got to you e.g. by a malicious proxy.

If you can get a copy on a clean system, it would be useful if you could 
compute ths SHA1 or SHA256 hash of the file, or just upload it somewhere, so we 
can compare it to the original.

I guess you're winz victim.

You do have Freenet running and connected to strangers, of course.
You did not unpack frost.jar.

Doesn't it come with readme files and frost.bat?
If not, make one in the app folder.
Mine reads
start javaw -Xmx192M -jar frost.jar %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7

I gave Frost a bit more memory. What the %1 etcetera does, I dunno.


Plz reply below the rest, and also: react to *all* I wrote. Now it looks 
like you didn't really read it.


Though the makers may be trying, Freenet does not come in one-button 
shape, nor does Frost. That ain't likely to change today, so it's either 
an effort on your part or no FN4u.

 How do I disable this? I can decide for myself.

Just click on the button provided. We always provide a means to fetch the data 
anyway - usually a link, sometimes a button.

And no, in general you can't. For example for most users PDF files will 
immediately open in an embedded Acrobat, which will then immediately download

What operating system are you using? (E.g. Windows)? Can you send me your

 Can you tell me what is going wrong on my primary machine ?

This is normal. Making installers that reliably work on Windows is a major 
annoyance. You could try the alpha installer. Unfortunately it installs an old 
version and *both* breaks auto-update over Freenet *and* doesn't have an 
update.cmd. But it would be interesting to test it anyway:

 Hello Freenet support!
 Thanks for your work first of all.
 
 I have build 1250 coz my node was offline for a long while. It wont 
 connect anymore - saying its trying to connect bu staying on 0 
 connections even after some long time.  

The auto-update function should work, even in this case, because of something 
called update over mandatory. This can however take several hours. How long 
did you give it?

 So i tried to use update.cmd   
 (running win7 x64 btw) in administrator-mode.  Getting the following 
 error (see below).  How do I update my node now? I wouldnt really like 
 loosing my current downloads or setup...

Okay, fixed this. Re-run the update script and press U when asked and it should 
work.

 On both machines, update.cmd spawned a new cli window, says
 - New update script found, restarting update script...
 and then spawns a new, same cli window asking me for a y and so on.
 
 Tried replacing startssl.pem with both versions you gave me but to no avail.
 
 So, it's back to the ole wipe-it-all and reinstall.. both boxes.
 Replaced freenet.ini with the one I had and startssl.pem with yours and 
 the update script found new versions of everything and FN connects again.
 
 Figured you want to know.

Hopefully this is all fixed now, although I'm not sure what the cause of the

Re: [freenet-support] Java cpu usage running amok, FMS crashed node

 As I'm used to by now, it took multiple efforts to get the new Freenet

 No way of updating works for me, FN has been whirling all night in a 
 loop of restarting the old version and finding that it needs to be updated.
 
 But I got it working again, and decided to give FMS a try. Dl'd it over 
 FN, started it.
 It gave me a DOS window 'FMS is started'.
 On the config page http://localhost/8080 only a blank page came up.
 The node disconnected immediately; the 'browse FN' page gave:

 and my node restarted again.

That is definitely a low level, local problem: It happens when Java can't 
access the jar file any more.
 
 I guess FMS conflicted with my mail server, it has a web interface at 
 localhost/8080 that I forgot about.
 Switched it off but it will be a while before I try FMS again. Just 
 figured you want to know about the error.

[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7.5 build 1263

2010-07-28 Thread Matthew Toseland
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1263 is now available. Please upgrade. Please let me know 
if there is a problem with upgrading, and tell us about any problems, ideally 
by filing bugs but I watch FMS lately, and will soon be back on Freetalk. 
Changes include:
- Lots of client layer bugfixes. Hopefully big splitfiles, and various other 
things, will work a bit better now. Stalls should be much less common, 
downloads should either succeed or fail, unless the data really isn't there. 
There are likely to be more bugs that haven't been fixed yet though, as always 
...
- Small changes to load limiting, to try to prevent feedback loops where the 
node thinks it has high overhead so it accepts few requests so it stays at high 
overhead...
- French translation update.
- Add http://127.0.0.1:/downloads/listFetchKeys.txt - just a plain text 
list of all the keys being fetched. Might be useful for some people's backups 
etc.
- Various other bugfixes.

Found my box restarting FN just now because of 1263, alas into the old 
version 1262. Didn't wait for yet again an autoupdate loop and used the 
.cmd.


Manual update /is/ working now, but for some reason the script wanted an 
update for itself twice. So I had, what, 6 times a new dos window.


Once more, figured you want to know.
