Do one thing for me, Sredni Vashtar.

Congratulations, you have successfully escaped the WWW and are now traveling the Freenet...

If you want to, send me an email to let me know that you actually reached this site. There are no web logs for me to check ;).

Confirmed hits to date: 986

This page has a list of links to things I've found in Freenet. If you have Freenet URI's to cool stuff please let me know and I'll add them. There's also a link to a page with the source code for some Freenet clients I've written and a FAQ with questions people have emailed me. And finally, there's some news, mostly about this page itself.

Unfortunately I haven't had as much time to work on code as I would like lately.

I'm going to be away from decent internet access until the end of May. I will do my best to keep this page alive, but updates may be spotty. In the worst case scenario it will be reliably back on line in early June.

Luckily, this page is no longer the only game in town. It is amazing to realize how far Freenet has come in such a short time. Anyone remember JavaScript date based redirects?

I am not planning to release any new code on the Think Cash problem until June.

The development team broke binary compatibility of the client interfaces again for the post 0.3.9.1 version of Freenet. I updated the manifest tools with an updated version of manifest.jar. You will need this only if you are building Freenet from CVS or for a future post 0.3.9.1 Freenet release.

It looks like Freenet release 0.3.9 will be appearing shortly.

There were some changes to the Client API that break the current (0.15c) version of my tools. Here's an updated version of manifest.jar which is compatible with the upcoming release. Source is here.

I have stopped running the original Think Cash demo server so you can't contact it anymore. I'm working on a new version that should be easier to use.

Things seem to be happening all of the sudden...

I've noticed that the number of mp3_collection URI's created by Share :-) in Steve's site index (http://azrael.dyn.cheapnet.net/cgi-bin/keydir/Sites/) hasn't really taken off. If you're using Share :-) make sure you set the htl to at least 45 or 50. MSK's should make it easy to download groups of big files like mp3's.

Check out my GetFiles tool . It will grab all the files in an MSK site for you at once retrying as necessary. e.g.:

java relentless.gj.cli.GetFiles -simRequestst 5 \
                                -htl 30 \
                                -retryHtlIncrement 40 \
                                -rootDir tmp\
				-serverAddress 127.0.0.1:19114 \
                                freenet:MSK@SSK@2xNUeBBFgoVjwhIK9dxidbq8tLYQAgE/mp3_collection/Kaye/mp3_from_tropus//

Note:You have to set the -serverAddress correctly for your local node's listening port

GetFiles is also useful for exploring new websites. Usually, I can't get new sites in fproxy until they become quite popular. Once you download a site using GetFiles it will be visible in fproxy because all of the files are in your local data store.
