- just stay online, to get friends, both you and your peer must be online
- the peer must allow file sharing
- to make the files visible, option "Directory content is visible to friend nodes" (Files -> My files -> Configure shared directories)
- files are accessible indirectly from other peers (use Files -> Search)
This, plus:

- keep approving incoming requests in the Activity tab
- keep adding new peers
- keep removing keys, which had not been used longer than .... (use your common sense here, I would say, at least a year) in Netwprk -> Keyring -> Sort by Last used

Does having keys that have not been used in a long time affect anything?
Also, when sorting keyrings, if I change one that says "denied" by double clicking and accepting the connection, does this "add" them or do I still need to find their certs?
Another thing, does importing the XML files add the certs automatically, or do I need to message the imported friends and add their certs?
I am confused between the difference of a keyring and a friend.

What's wrong with this one: https://retroshare.cc/downloads.html#archlinux ?
From memory: AUR didn't compile, OBS didn't download. I will probably try it again eventually.

Some error message which I was unable to solve, but don't remember now. I do consider switching over to Linux Mint or CachyOS and might try it again then. Or if I don't switch, I will probably try again in a couple days.
I attempted to set up RetroShare in a VM on my server for 24/7 operation.

Is this a normal Error?

Does this link still work? Everytime i try to open it it just wants me to download the collection 

20GB is shared on RetroShare
retroshare://file?name=Kei_20200310.rscollection&size=24816&hash=db25d0b0be2cf185a4a4c5134794f7917f3c96fd
Or search for Kei_20200310

Also how do i search Kei_20200310 on retroshare, i downloaded it for a mac air, i downloaded retroshare just for this, so i don't really know how to use it.

Yes, then you can open it and download individual files.

You need more active peers.
