I downloaded 4.20.9 version but it only has one green bar for the start up connection.

Also what info is there on Frostwire 5? I keep getting pop ups to upgrade to it.

Not good. Your failure to connect with either LW or FrostWire suggests something might be blocking these programs.

Did you try a fresh connection file for Frostwire? https://hotfile.com/list/2076270/ac95d09 Choose the Windows version. If this does not fix the connection problem then there must be some other reason.

Either your firewall, other security software or your router's NAT is blocking gnutella network connections. Else it is your ISP.

If the above connection fix does not fix FrostWire connecting, then I think it's time we had a look at your setup, http://www.gnutellaforums.com/connec...-you-post.html :)

FrostWire 5 is a torrent only program, it does not connect to the gnutella network.

Regular or high speed download?

I do not understand your question. :confused:

On p2p file-sharing networks, you can only download as fast as people sharing can give you and as many of them as you can connect to. However, there are some scam softwares that limit downloads to prompt you to buy their pro or commercial versions of the software. If you ever see that, ignore them, there will be an equivalent or usually far superior programs out there that is totally free and does not limit your speeds.

For example, Acquisition, a MacOSX shareware program would limit your download speeds after an hour. pfft ... first gnutella program I ever heard of that was designed to do that. The program developer is very commercially greedy, selfish and dishonest. And so are those that work for any program that attempts to limit your speeds in the hope you will buy their pro software.

While Microsoft has officially moved the primary focus of development to .NET 9 (and the unified .NET platform), many legacy enterprise applications still rely on the classic .NET Framework. If you are looking for the .NET Framework 4.9 Offline Installer, here is everything you need to know about the current versioning, installation, and deployment. The Reality of .NET Framework 4.9

To provide the most accurate information: As of early 2024, Microsoft has not officially released a version labeled ".NET Framework 4.9." .NET Framework 4.9 Offline Installer for Windows

The final major version of the classic .NET Framework is .NET Framework 4.8 (and its minor update, 4.8.1). Microsoft has transitioned its naming convention to the unified ".NET" (dropping "Core" and "Framework") for all versions 5.0 and higher. If you see a download for "4.9," it is likely either a mislabeled version of 4.8.1 or an unofficial package. Why You Need an Offline Installer

In a standard environment, Microsoft provides a "Web Installer." However, the Offline Installer is the preferred choice for several professional scenarios:

No Internet Access: Essential for secure "air-gapped" workstations or servers in restricted environments.

Bulk Deployment: If you are an IT admin, using an offline package allows you to deploy the framework across hundreds of machines via SCCM or Group Policy without consuming massive bandwidth.

Consistency: It ensures that every machine in your dev or production environment is running the exact same build version. System Requirements

If you are installing the latest available version (4.8 or 4.8.1), ensure your system meets these specs:

Operating Systems: Windows 11, Windows 10 (version 1607+), Windows 8.1, and various Windows Server editions (2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022). Processor: 1 GHz or faster. RAM: 512 MB minimum (2 GB recommended).

Disk Space: Up to 4.5 GB of available space may be required for the installation process. How to Install .NET Framework (Offline Method)

Since 4.8.1 is the functional "last version" of the framework, here is the standard process for a clean installation:

Download the Package: Always download from the official Microsoft Download Center. The offline installer is typically a large executable file (around 100MB+).

Run as Administrator: Right-click the .exe file and select "Run as Administrator." This is necessary to modify system-level files and registry keys.

Extraction and Verification: The installer will extract files to a temporary directory and verify the digital signature to ensure the file hasn't been tampered with. Looking for the

Accept Terms: Follow the on-screen prompts. If the installer detects a newer or identical version already on your machine, it will notify you and stop.

Restart: Even if not prompted, a system restart is highly recommended to ensure all registry changes take effect and services are initialized. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Blocking Issues: If the installation fails, check for pending Windows Updates. .NET Framework often requires specific security patches to be present before it can install.

Error 0x800c0005: This usually points to a certificate validation issue. Ensure your system clock is accurate.

Mismatched Language: The offline installer is often "Multilingual," but specific language packs may need to be downloaded separately if you require localized error messages. The Future: Moving to .NET 8/9

If you are a developer, it is important to note that while .NET Framework 4.8.x will be supported as long as the parent Windows OS is supported, it is no longer receiving new features. For modern app development, you should look toward .NET 8 (LTS) or .NET 9. These versions offer significantly better performance, cross-platform support for Linux/macOS, and the latest C# language features.

Are you looking to download this specifically for legacy software support, or are you setting up a new development environment?

---

While a ".NET Framework 4.9" does not exist, the functionality you are looking for is likely contained within .NET Framework 4.8.1 (for legacy apps) or .NET 8.0 (for modern apps). Always download these directly from Microsoft to ensure your computer remains secure.

The final version in the 4.x series is .NET Framework 4.8.1. After that, Microsoft shifted its focus to the cross-platform, modern .NET (starting with .NET 5, then .NET 6, 7, 8, and now .NET 9). The last purely Windows-native .NET Framework versions are 4.8 and 4.8.1.

That said, I understand you are looking for a way to install the latest .NET Framework offline on Windows without an active internet connection. Below is an essay-style explanation covering: why offline installers matter, which version is correct (4.8.1), where to get it, and how to deploy it.

To understand why 4.9 doesn't exist, it helps to look at how Microsoft renamed their products:

---

For Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2022, the correct offline installers are: Installation:

.NET Framework 4.8 (still supported, offline)

Note: Microsoft no longer provides separate “developer pack� offline installers for the full Framework; the runtime offline installer includes everything needed for end-user applications.

Microsoft provides two types of installers:

When you visit the official download pages above, look for:

“Runtimeâ€� → “Run appsâ€� → choose “Download the offline installerâ€� or a link that says ndp...-allos-...exe.

Do NOT confuse with:

---

Many enterprise and embedded Windows environments are air-gapped — disconnected from the internet for security or operational reasons. In such cases, an online web installer (which downloads components on the fly) is useless. Developers and system administrators therefore require a standalone, offline installer for the .NET Framework — a single executable containing all necessary files to install the runtime and associated libraries without external downloads.

On the target machine, open Command Prompt as Administrator. Navigate to the file location and run:

NDP481-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /q /norestart /log %temp%\net48_install.log

For a manual interactive install, just double-click the .exe.

The last major release of the .NET Framework (Windows-only) is version 4.8.1 (released August 2022). There was no 4.9 because Microsoft rebranded and evolved .NET as a unified platform:

Thus, the true answer to your request is: obtain the .NET Framework 4.8.1 offline installer.

Regular. :) It's only a small file so you do not need any high speed to download it.

Thanks! I'll try to get download it soon and let you know. :)

I think I downloaded the fix, but I can't tell since Frostwire still doesn't work. One green bar and it still says "starting connection".

This is frustrating, because I have a bunch of songs I want to download and burn to CD and redo another since the first four songs are no good since my mother had the CD in her car's CD player.

Can you post your system details so perhaps we might be able to find where the problem lay? :)

I have Windows 7 Home Edition and IE 9. I don't know what else you want. Oh I have Kapersky Anti-virus.
