You need to connect to irc.freenode.net with an IRC client, not your web browser. Try mirc, which is available here: http://www.mirc.com/get.html
You could also (and I highly recommend this approach) try downloading Freenet 0.5 instead, which does not require you to manually gather node references. However, freenet 0.7 and 0.5 are two completely separate networks. There is no connection between them. However, there are still a lot of people on 0.5, as 0.7 is incomplete and, we feel, has quite a few flaws. Of course, most of the people on here will disagree with me on that...but the point is, both 0.5 and 0.7 have a large amount of users that trust them, I personally am a user of 0.5, and I think 0.5 is a LOT easier to get started with. Anyways, here's where you can get 0.5: http://freenetproject.org/download-old.html On 10/28/06, Sarah <scarahwarah at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On 28/10/06, Sarah <scarahwarah at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hello, > > I am trying to work with the freenet project after hearing about it last > night on newnight!
