Running javaws “http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/freenet.jnlp” on my system (gentoo 2.6.16-r1) results in the following error.

An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Title: Freenet 0.7
Vendor: FreenetProject.org
Category: Download Error

Corrupted JAR file at http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/installer/selfextractpack.jar

My java installation:
java version “1.5.0_06″
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode)

If you can’t get past installation, people are going to have a hard time using it.

Freenet relies on the donations of its users, so if you can afford to - please make a donation on the Freenet website (http://freenetproject.org/).

(And before anyone tells me to practice what I preach, I donated $1,000 a few weeks ago!).
