I'm having trouble accessing the login button while trying to login web of trust on hyphanet. When i click on login button nothin happens. Captchas are not loading. I tried different jre s. Nothing changed. My os is win 11. I upload a screen video about that problem please watch it
About a year ago, I installed Freenet on an old laptop, just to see how it works. I opened a couple of random links but decided that it's all junk and not worth it and shut it down. Later, I read that Freenet is not really safe to use and that was enough for me to completely
I haven't used the laptop since. Until a couple of day ago, when I wanted to update the software and completely forgot about Freenet installation.
I ran the software update but as it turns out, the laptop didn't shut down after the process and stayed on for the last couple of days, and that Freenet autostarted and continued running in the background. It collected about 200GB of data in the cache. But I was just relaying traffic. But I still panicked. I'm worried that I might have been targeted by law enforcemenet for some reason. Can I really get in trouble?
Hi there!
I just installed freenet on my mac. However, when I want to launch it, a window appears saying "FreenetTray needs to be updated. The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS."
Could anyone please help me with this issue? Thank you!
I have been reading a sort of a diary of a schizophrenic guy on freenet , the problem is that his diary is sort of a wall of text that takes a while to read through and i dont want to keep freenet running during that time , so i am looking for a way to rip his entire "site", so i can read it on my own time
Is their a way to do it in linux ,
i tried "wget -mpEk" per some suggestion , but it doesnt appear to work , any other idea?
(I will not be calling it Hyphanet)
I have some familiarity with Freenet, and I tried this once before, but I could not get it to work.
I have a PC (PC#1) running Freenet, running Windows 11. I have another PC (PC#2) running Ubuntu. I want to run Frost on PC#2. They are on the same LAN. Could someone explain to me, step-by-step, exactly how to do this? BTW, I am using FrostNext, if that matters.
Hello! I'm currently working on a project that requires Freenet address verification. Any advice from the community would be highly appreciated.
Hi Friends,
I am trying to get back into Freenet as I miss the people and conversations I used to have on FMS, but I ran into some issues. I'm running Freenet on an unusual CPU architecture so the normal binaries for FMS aren't working and I ran into some issues compiling. My Debian install is very barebones. I'm thinking I must be missing a needed package? Also Freenet is giving me this error about it not running in a wrapper, any idea how to fix these errors? Help is greatly appreciated. I hope everyone is doing well!
My errors are:
"You are running Freenet without the wrapper. This is not recommended. Freenet will not be able to restart itself, so auto-updating won't work, and if Java crashes, it won't get restarted either. Also Freenet can't generate stack dumps in some places so debugging will be marginally harder."
And

How to tell if 30/40/50/60++++ concurrent file downloads is most efficient long-term? Does it affect memory usage?
thanks
Hi friends, looking for some guidance here. Is there a way to set up a node that logs outgoing requests for blocks of data indicating which peer the request was sent to, how many blocks were requested from that peer, etc.?

If you run Tor, you can now watch the series over a new inproxy: http://xdxvyfgo6d3vwpisd4jexhx5t3xeioynkpiiv3luyahbioconztrmeyd.onion:8888/freenet:USK@JzzvVJt-47Hby7c6i21I1HJjmUQT3EfkViJcXtH0jHk,Vtfn5lZf5lihVC6S-ymJHF69Z2qG8zHfcKNMGxrTcjQ,AQACAAE/bloodspell/32/chronological.html
(the video starts gray)
This uses a version of m3u-player that’s been reviewed by Core Devs to polyfill m3u playlist support, so it needs Javascript enabled. We’d like to avoid JS there, but surprisingly almost no browser supports playlists out of the box.
You can also run a node yourself to get better privacy and speed and watch the video on the local node: http://127.0.0.1:8888/USK@JzzvVJt-47Hby7c6i21I1HJjmUQT3EfkViJcXtH0jHk,Vtfn5lZf5lihVC6S-ymJHF69Z2qG8zHfcKNMGxrTcjQ,AQACAAE/bloodspell/32/chronological.html

Slides and content of the talk I gave in 2022 at the SUMA e.V. congress held at the venerable University of Hannover: https://www.draketo.de/software/freenet-hyphanet-the-long-game-de
This describes the vision and foundations and the progress since 2007 when the friend-to-friend networking layer was introduced. After the talk there was a running Freenet / Hyphanet node with an already published sharesite and we had seen video-on-demand running live in the browser within seconds after opening the video freesite.
Installing Freenet to a system where I have not run it before. My other system in the same network ran it flawlessly. What would be the reason I am not receiving any UDP packets? How to fix it?

Here, federal investigators as part of Project Safe Childhood, accessed the dark web Freenet site where files are shared anonymously and tracked down the various IP addresses discovered to be requesting files from the file sharing system.

Thank`s I delete that crap!
Freenet is still useless.
The Friend to Friend (F2F) Connection doesn`t work because no one is crazy enough to even install freenet, if you have to convice/beg people to install something, it`s just not worth it.
Opennet is Insecure as hell, because you automatically connect to other (random) people (they could be the bad guys).
Freenet is still slow as a turtle and consumes to much ressources (the Web of Trust plugin is mostly to blame) . An old Laptop/pc or an Raspberry Pi, good luck get it to work with the mandatory Web of Trust plugin (don`t give me that crap that it is not mandatory, Freemail, Sone & Floghelper are all DEPENDANT on Web of Trust).
The development efforts are mostly none existant see https://freenet.mantishub.io/roadmap_page.php
Most of the Roadmap is not resolved, that is going on for several YEARS! (look at the Scheduled For Release date), the Date just gets pushed further and further into the future, whenever the Date hits the deadline, pathetic. Freemail in particular is in development hell.
Good luck uploading or downloading Movies etc., it take`s days to weeks until it`s finished (IF it get`s finished, that is).
Don`t get me wrong i like the underlying concept/philosophy, but the user experience and "anonymity" is just not good enough to justify the risk of getting the FBI kick down your door.
