Frost


Frost is an application for Freenet that provides usenet-like message boards and file uploading/downloading/sharing functionalities. It should get installed with Freenet 0.7 automatically if you used the standard Freenet installers. The bundled version can be downloaded here.

Note: You should always run the latest version of Frost, the bundled version you installed together with Freenet may be outdated. To check for a new version monitor the board frost-announce in Frost, or visit the Frost homepage on internet or the Frost freesite in Freenet (links at the end of this page).

Frost can run on Freenet 0.5 or Freenet 0.7. If you run Freenet 0.5 and Freenet 0.7 you must use one Frost installation for each network. During the first startup of Frost you are asked on what network you want Frost to run.

F.A.Q.


How do I find new boards?
When fetching new messages, Frost will look to see if there are any boards attached to the message. If it finds any, they will be added to the Known Boards List.

How do I start Frost from a Linux command line?
To run Frost on Linux from the command line, change to your Freenet install directory, then change to the frost subdirectory. Then type:
sh ./frost.sh &

or alternatively, make frost.sh executable first (you only need to do this once) then you don't have to keep typing the sh at the beginning:

chmod +x ./frost.sh
./frost.sh &
