Hello all.

I tried to install Freenet running the Java WebStart tool. It asked me if I
wanted to continue with the installation after presenting me the X.509
certificate of Matthew Toseland whose fingerprint
is 85:D7:BE:A3:A7:78:62:D2:0C:48:DF:5A:07:94:8E:72

I couldn't find any reference to that fingerprint on the web.

Then I tried the offline install as suggested as the second option,
downloading this file
http://freenet.googlecode.com/files/new_installer_offline_1314.jar

Still: I couldn't find on the web it's hashes, neither the md5 nor the sha1
one.

How can I trust the Freenet file I am bout to install then? How can I know
that nobody hijacked my connection passing me a wrong file?

That's a paranoid behavior, maybe, but what's Freenet about after all? If I
don't trust the web, then I just... don't.

Thanks for any answer and thank you so much for your work!
