RE: [freenet-support] Problem for over a week
Hi Gene, welcome to freenet, the error you are currently seeing 'should' be a rare one, but with issues on the network it's a tad more common, but looking at the information you posted it's not actually a network related issue so lets look at the most important part of the post as I see it snip Attempts were made to contact 0 nodes. * 0 were totally unreachable. * 0 restarted. * 0 cleanly rejected. /snip Your node didn't even try to connect to the network, it could be one of these reasons 1)your behind a firewall and not allowing freenet to communicate with the network 2)You haven't got any seedrefs Try downloading http://www.freenetproject.org/snapshots/seednodes.ref into your freenet directory and restarting your node. Get back to us if that doesn't work and we'll see what else we can suggest.

It was working fine prior to that. I've been continuing to upgrade since this first started happening in hopes it was just a build glitch...no joy. Can you explain what the following message means? And maybe how to get back to usability? thanks, gene *** Couldn't retrieve key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/GPL.txt Hops To Live: 25 Error: Route Not Found Attempts were made to contact 0 nodes. * 0 were totally unreachable. * 0 restarted. * 0 cleanly rejected. The request couldn't even make it off of your node. Try again, perhaps with the GPL to help your node learn about others. The publicly available seed nodes have been very busy lately. If possible try to get a friend to give you a reference to their node instead. Route Not Found messages mean that your node, or the rest of the network, didn't find the data or enough nodes to send the request to. You should retry, with the same Hops-To-Live; if it persists, there may be a problem (check that your internet connection is working).

RE: [freenet-support] Freenet under Linux issues
It sounds as though your node is running just fine, it's actually the network that's fscked atm, there is currently a 'lot' of work going on aimed at solving the issues you are encountering (check the devl list for more details) Pete -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin The Cynical Sent: 05 December 2003 23:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [freenet-support] Freenet under Linux issues I've done some digging on the list and the web site and I can not find any reason for this to be happening. Freenet build 5048 set for a perm node Sun Java j2re1.4.1_06 Linux kernel 2.2.25 The machine is running a firewall script, but the freenet node port is higher than what the firewall worries about. Besides, I was/am able to pull the GPL file. What is going on is that it does not seem to be able to retreive any sites. So far, the GPL is the only thing I've been able to look at besides my own gateway, and even that isn't pulling up the icons for YoYo, The Tower, etc. I've left it running for a few days and it still isn't able to pull anything. I mainly receive Route Not Found messages, but I do also get messages that it never made it past my node and to try to get the GPL (which it has), but I still can't get anywhere else. The annoying part for me is that when I was first experimenting with it, I was running it on my XP machine forwarding the port via the NAT/PAT software and after a few days I was able to at least get to YoYo and see a few catagories as well as have the icons appear on the main bookmark page. I started using the Linux box as the node for stability (the XP machine gets rebooted too much for use as a perm node), but it seems that the windows client works better. Someone tell me it isn't so! Also, when I try clicking on Spread Freenet, I get a blank page that says nothing more than 'Error'. ??

Are you sure you have configured Freenet correctly? Also make sure that you are connected to the internet. I have not changed anything in my configuration, and I am connected to the internet. Is the network down, or could this be a bug in 5046? For those of you who have tried reseeding, updating, and everything else and just want the darn thing to work, your best bet is to go to the unstable branch. Take the following steps to do so: 1) Shut down Freenet completely 2) Go to http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/ 3) Download freenet-unstable-latest.jar 4) Download unstable.ref 5) Rename freenet-unstable-latest.jar to freenet.jar 6) Rename unstable.ref to seednodes.ref 7) Copy both of the renamed files into your Freenet folder, overwriting the existing files 8) Run Freenet, give it a few hours to reintegrate Caveat Warning for Windows users - You can't use the webinstaller to update unstable (at least last I checked). If you use the webinstaller, it will send you right back to the stable branch. To update, you'll have to run through the steps I've outlined here once again, though you probably will not need to get the .ref file again. --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.

RE: [freenet-support] Fuqid keeps stalling out?
Set fuqids retries to about 25, basically whats happening is a dissemination of data, meaning freenet is spreading the data making it harder to retreive, using the browser to retrieve a file won't help your efforts much as fuqid is dedicated to retrieving files from freenet a mainstream browser isn't ;) With Frost you'd will probably find the same retrieval patterns as your seeing with Fuqid.

I used to be able to get complete downloads pretty regularly before the last couple of weeks. Would it be better to use my browser for retrieving or frost, instead of fuqid?

RE: [freenet-support] how to start on freenet?
Freenet isn't a peer to peer (p2p) file sharing platform such as kazaa or gnutella, as such you don't have a shared file folder as in kazaa. To share files on freenet you'll need to insert the files onto the network which may take some time, with this in mind and you still want to share your files the best way will be to use frost which is a third party piece of software for the freenet network. Frost can be found at http://jtcfrost.sourceforge.net and will allow you to insert your files onto freenet, search for files other people have inserted via frost and communicate with other frost users by the bulletin board system within it.

Actually Jay, I didn't need anyhelp having a healthy node running already, and I do understand the problems the faces the dev team, but com'on for a newbie does If you continue getting Route Not Found (RNF) errors for a prolonged period of time, you might need to get newer seed node references. actually mean anything? I seriously doubt it. a nicer response would of been try downloading some seednode refs from http://wooledge.org/~greg/ this should help with the route not found problem. And for anyone who would publish a seedref file but don't wont it on their own personal site they pay for their are plenty of free hosting services that you can lie to about you age address name etc ot get an account so that's no excuse. and didn't someone start mirroring freenetproject.org once?

That is one possibility; I guess google would then be able to tag them and a search for seednodes.ref might help.
