The inactivity is due to index creators having stopped updating one year ago, so what you saw were old blogs — while missing the new one from the last year.<p>There’s a new index that should be part of the default entry pages in the next release: USK@5ijbfKSJ4kPZTRDzq363CHteEUiSZjrO-E36vbHvnIU,ZEZqPXeuYiyokY2r0wkhJr5cy7KBH9omkuWDqSC6PLs,AQACAAE/clean-spider/37/<p>I wish that next release were already released, but the changes in Java 16 and 17 have thrown rocks into the path of getting Freenet 1493 released. Spending the weekends fighting with a Windows VM to get a tray app working you’ll never run yourself is pretty annoying … but necessary to make this easy for regular users.
Networks that use my disk to store other people's encrypted blobs (by default) make me uneasy. Services like IPFS where you essentially need to opt in to hosting other folks' content feels better.
> ...we strongly suggest that you install Freenet inside an encrypted drive using, for example, Truecrypt.<p>A word of warning: Truecrypt has been unmaintained for years; I'm not a security expert and can't suggest an alternative.
I don’t understand why the installer was corrupted.<p>This just works for me:<p>wget '<a href="https://github.com/freenet/fred/releases/download/build01492/new_installer_offline_1492.jar" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/freenet/fred/releases/download/build01492...</a>' -O new_installer_offline.jar;
java -jar new_installer_offline.jar;
That was the same conclusion I came to when I tried it. Freenet works, but it's slow and there's barely anything there. Unfortunately, a big draw to use a network is how many users it already has.
Download 1492? Broken on one link and ok for another? I would recheck the checksum of both files and compare it against checksums listed on the download web page, if any.
