Please download and test a snapshot of the current development version. The next stable version 0.5 is expected to be completed soon - check back at this site for updates or join the announcements list to be notified when it is ready.
Freenet requires a Java Runtime Environment to run, there are several choices for different platforms:
Freenet works best when you have a direct internet connection, ie. when you are not behind a NAT or a Firewall. If you are, please read this.
Download the latest Windows snapshot from here, it will be in the form freenet-YYYYMMDD.exe where YYYYMMDD is the date the snapshot was created. Run the executable and follow instructions.
Download the latest Linux snapshot from here, it will be in the form freenet-YYYYMMDD.tgz where YYYYMMDD is the date the snapshot was created. Uncompress the snapshot as follows:
> tar xfz freenet-YYYYMMDD.tgz
This will create a directory called "freenet-YYYYMMDD", change into this directory, and follow the instructions in the file "README".
Download the latest Unix snapshot from here, it will be in the form freenet-YYYYMMDD.tgz where YYYYMMDD is the date the snapshot was created. Once you have it on your hard disk, use Stuffit Expander to uncompress the archive. To run freenet, use the terminal to 'cd' (change directory) to the folder freenet-YYYYMMDD, from your archive, and type:
> sh ./run.sh
This will begin the configuation process. If you have any questions, please contact Tom Longson at tlongson@socal.rr.com. If you intend on running Freenet on a Macintosh Classic, go here.
