"OK, so I tried Freenet... or rather, I'm trying to try it. It's running for about 36 hours now, with pauses because I have to go offline every 12 hours. (is that a problem?)
A Freenet site takes now from 5 to 20 minutes to load, if it loads at all. After much trying, I downloaded Frost, but the interesting part of the manual just won't load, not even through the gateway. I think I got it running correctly, but it doesn't show even one message anywhere, aside from the one I posted myself. Lots of "not found or wrong size" in the DOS box... All in all, I have to say Freenet is a very frustrating experience to a newbie. Is it always this slow, did I do something wrong, or have I picked a bad day?" Frustrating? Can't be! It has much improved, *much* I say. If you don't believe me, ask toad and Ian!Even the simulations say so! We have NIO and NGR now, so things definately have improved for noobs like you, whatever you may think about it yourself!Now, because people are going to ask you these questions anyway (it's a default ;-), I'll ask them for you/them : what build do you use? What OS? What JVM? How many Open Connections do you have? Do you have NAT, are you behind a firewall?The last question will be 'yes' to which the answer will be: 'oh, then it's probably that. You have to punch a whole in your firewall and set the NAT right, and then Freenet will work like a charm (a level-2-in-Morrowind one).
