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.

25 April 2001

> 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.

20 April 2001

> I added ar3MZ's Anime Corner.

17 April 2001

> 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.

10 April 2001

> If you haven't already, definitely check out freesite.

> Snarfoo keeps getting better and better.

3 April 2001

> I updated my Freenet Website Publishing HOWTO to reflect the improvements in the manifest tools.

30 March 2001

> I updated my Freenet clients again. Here's what's new:
> - Share :-) a GUI app for inserting mp3s into Freenet.
> - GetFiles now supports downloading entire Freenet sites from an MSK
> - PutFiles can now insert an MSK under a private SSK key for you

# Here's what I've ferreted out so far...

- Snarfoo

  Has a daily hyperlinked list of keys added to Steve's key index.

- freesite.

  A personal homepage with mirrors of parts of kernel.org.

- Freegle's client side in Freenet Search engine

  Check this out.

  It trips the anonymity filter because of external http links and the applet.

- A musician's personal site (with mp3s)

  This is what Freenet should be all about.

- The Midnight Sentinel

  News about Freenet

- ar3MZ's Anime Corner

  A page devoted to anime

- Trance.Sphere (alternate DBR)

  Vive la Trance! ??? Trips the anonymity filter all over the place.

- The Pigdog Journal

  A webzine mirrored into Freenet.

  This trips the anonymity filter because of external links.

  Also it exposes a bug in either fproxy the anonymity filter which prevents you from loading sites with embedded spaces in their URIs after a warning. You have to manually change the spaces back to '+' in the generated URI.

- Hoora

  This defintely has a work in progress feel to it. But a really cool graphic and professional looking layout. I'm not sure if this is still alive. I haven't been able to get it lately.

- A Linux User's Group homepage

  This trips the anonymity filter.

- A catalog for an e-commerce site.

  Kind of a cool idea.

  This trips the anonymity filter because of external links.

  It seems like the anonymity filter could be modified to allow checked jumps out of Freenet that only warn when you click on the link, not when the page loads.

- A mirror of the notorious Bonzai Kitten Website

  This trips the anonymity filter all over the place. Not all images load.

- The ABCmews parody site

  This trips the anonymity filter all over the place.

- Jump page to The Aardvark's Freenet Index

  Indexes to Freenet content!

  This seems to be down. Here'the last update I successfully retrieved:
  freenet:SSK@Xdxr9gtIHEasJ1QrGK1T1Wr30kUQAgE/index-20010204.html

- A Hypertexted list of validated Freenet URIs

  I re-ran my URI validation program on 13 February 2001 with all the keys in Steve's Key index.

  Here are the results from 11 January 2001 and 4 January 2001 for comparison.

- Benjamin Coates' key index mirror (DBR)

  This page has a link to a daily mirror of Steve's key index.

- Books

  A list of books in Freenet. I am sure that there are many more out there. These are just the ones I was able to find.

- The Tropus / Espra project page

  Here's a link to the last version of the old Tropus page that I was able to find.

  freenet:SSK@KRr48mH6HBbtWGBA-D6SuGYniPQQAgE/tropus-2000-11-30

  Here's a page that lists most of the mp3s on it with pretty SSK subspace names.

  The project-formerly-known-as-Tropus has morphed into the Espra project. They don't update the old Tropus date stamped link.

  I have been keeping my eye on the Espra webpage `(www.espra.net)` but I haven't seen any info on new Freenet content from them yet.
