Ok I installed freenet.
it runs.
takes forever for any page to load.
I downloaded a legal file from its default setup.
Did not see any pictures, just a "webpage" of text.
But a picture should of shown.
some "file / header" links never open.
so you talk of FROST. How do you use iy inside of freenet?
Simple explanatory trerms how do you configure it to stay inside of
freenet on a linux type of system?
OK, this was a shameless plug for using Freenet. No, I'm not involved in
