The protocol used on the stable network has been changed. Builds up to 5065 use one protocol, 5066 and later use another. seednodes.ref on the Freenet site is compatible with 5066 and later and incompatible with earlier builds. If you wish to continue using 5017 you need to either restore your earlier version of seednodes.ref or find someone who can supply you with such. Your alternative is to download the current stable build. This is at build 5068; because of bugs, 5066 has been replaced twice in a couple of days, and I believe that at least one significant bug has just been reported -- so it can't be said to be stable at the moment. I have access to nodes on both networks (call them stable-5065 and stable-5066). Both work. The stable-5065 node continues to collect new files but the stable-5066 doesn't. > Is there any chance that freenet will start working again soon? > > please don't just say that I need to get a hotter pc, it just is not an > option...
