In honor of the concept of this whole thing, I'm going to keep using the outdated, but more accurate, Freenet logo.

If I get some more positive feedback on this, I'll go ahead and go full tilt and do a CVS, project site, and all that. Maybe even give it a neat name, like "Freenet Classic" or something like that.

Anyway, here is my latest release of Freenet, which is just freenet 0.5, Build 5106, Release alpha.

Self-extracting .exe

Freenet 5108 JAR
(to run Freenet 5108, just shut down your freenet node, rename this to freenet.jar, and use it to replace the 5105-5107 jar in your current freenet directory)

Download, extract it, do what the readme.txt says.
You are also going to want FROST; Freenet without FROST is sort of boring. it's a lite duty file-sharing system, but mainly a very USENET like Discussion system

FROST: Internet | Freenet

For Serious File Sharing you are going to want FUQID.

The Purpose of this is to have a single archive that can be spread around or hosted anywhere or handed to a buddy that will not require you to connect to a web site to get updates or complete your install; you won't leave a web trail from this one.

I would REALLY APPRECIATE IT if someone would test this for me; let me know about any problems by e-mail
