In case you've already upgraded and are stuck, here are steps on how to roll it back: https://itsfoss.com/downgrade-flatpak-packages/
What's linuxmint? Just splurged on a couple toys: 18tb to feed this retroshare beast (mind the downtime about 1h ago), and a new high-powered nuc to maybe be a linux swiss army knife, RS included. Haven't begun to research which to go with but 'proxmox' has crossed my screen a few times.
But spose - whole point of PM would be I could play around with mint+. I welcome all advice which yays and which nays in the year 2025!

n00b-friendly Linux distro: https://www.linuxmint.com/
I've been using some variant of Linux since the '90s but I like Mint because it's easy to install and gets the job done without having to mess with it too much.
Retroshare Collections - jocelyn_oui - 09 Dec 2025
I just reviewed the official documentation and it appears to confirm this, but it feels like such a glaring functional omission I have to ask again:
rscollection files - index of individual files that make up a collection, great. You can open it up, select which of the complete index you want, click 'go', and it fires off n-independent file requests in your typical leech queue.
Here's the gap: That's it. It's a one-way map to file links, but otherwise there is no kind of capability to measure status against the full collection. If there were 500 files in a collection, you have to wait and manually scan your inqueue to ensure you've got every file, then have to manually eyeball filesizes, filenames, etc and validate you've got a complete collection. There is no RS functionality that does so.
Is this true? Doesn't it seem like a partial solution to anyone else? My use-case is the lustomic collection. Every comic consisting of individual pages / pics. That's a shit-tonne of files. You're practically guaranteed to snapshot off thinking you're done and go back later, find out you've seeded bad copies to others...

Need help fixing my retroshare, Its stuck at "30% (Loading networkstatus consensus)" does anyone have a fix for it?
RE: RetroShare - tommy44vv - 02 Jan 2026
I am having the same problem.
"Loading networkstatus consensus" seems to be a part of starting up tor.
On the internet I found a few mentions that this might happen when one uses an old tor version.
Since there was no update on retroshare for quite a while I am wondering if this only happens when using RS with tor built in?
Anyone else experiencing this?
Are there nightly builds of retroshare that might be newer then the version 0.6.7a?
I am running RS on linux...

Same problem here. Stuck at 30% loading networkstatus consensus.
Using lastest .appimage (0.6.7-2 from Jan, 2024) on Linux Mint. Tor Browser is updated to latest version and .onion sites are working.
That .appimage never had this problem.

I am having the same issue on Windows 11 new machine with it stuck at 30%. Version 0.6.6 was working well on Windows 10. Check firewall and it's open.

Maybe try to get answers from Github, if it seems to be common occurrence?

I found i fix for it, I reinstalled tor browser then replaced "tor.exe" in retroshare with the tor.exe within the tor browser files

Does someone have experience with setting up RetroShare on Mac OS?
I tried helping @texxmexx to set it up, but I myself am on Windows.

For some reason the node-address is blank.
