Well gee what a load of help you are to someone who hasn't had the joy and benefit of actually using a fully set up node, this sort of attitude is why people give up after they try the software then when it doesn't work and can't find any help.
So why don't we try to be constructive? instead of <sarcasm></sarcasm> 1) Mention of these sort of things on freenetproject.org 2) Add a link to a google search that is looking for the seednode.ref from the gateway/failure page? I actually had thought you were a decent helpful guy Greg but obviously your starting to share the dis-illusionment that has affected other freenet authors recently. So if your not going to offer to be helpful (I actually sent the guy my node.ref to help and posted a copy to the mailing list but it was to big and is awaiting administration) don't bother saying anything.

I mean, sure, it would be great if one could go to some place like http://wooledge.org/~greg/ and find a seednodes.ref file there for the taking. Or maybe, in some theoretical alternate earth, one could go to Google, search for seednodes.ref, and find sites like http://www.whoopis.com/~mbates/freenet/ whence seednodes.ref files could be retrieved. </sarcasm> Granted, these could conceivably be out of date, but an old seednodes.ref file is surely better than one which is known empirically not to work, and it's surely leagues better than none at all. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
