NAME

        fn_curses - a freenet (0.7) client written in perl.

SYNOPSIS

        fn_curses

DESCRIPTION

        Freenet (0.7) Client written in Perl using...
        * Curses::UI
        * Curses::UI::POE
        * POE::Wheel::Curses
        * Freenet::Message
        * and Freenet::Connection
        * strict
        
        it's not a replacement for clients like Thaw or frost since
        it's main goal is to monitor and start downloads only. it has
        no upload-functionality (yet), also it entirely lacks handling
        of boards and messages. but if monitoring and launching new
        downloads is all you need, this might be a more CPU- and RAM-
        friendly alternative to the java-applets. since my workstation
        is not a top-notch high-end PC i wrote this application.

BUGS

        * "remove finished downloads [...]" sometimes omits entries.

        this one should be fixed within the next (few) release(s).

        please keep in mind i'm no programmer! so please don't post my
        code on sites like ``WorseThanFailure'' (fka ``thedailyWTF'').
        thanks.
