The Freeroute used to be a web based java app but is not supported at last look.
I enclose the ulp to save the board (unrouted!) and either run the jnlp or use the compiled version in exe.
As always, scan the files for goodness and no badness.
Lookup freeroute on Google for more confusion in working versions. Check with Cadsoft support for it's history.
EDIT: I cannot upload the exe file due to restrictions here. It is 3MB in size. You could however compile it yourself.
Any ? let me know.

Sorry Chris, I have to agree that Kicad is still lacking and hard to get a grip on. Too many forks. Perhaps with your promotions and tinkering with it it will be a stellar product.
I have the Pro license for the schematic and layout editor... but my Eagle is still at v5.11
I'm now investigating switching to KiCad, learning it right now, but KiCad seems half-baked.
What DSN router?
You're confusing KiCad with gEDA. Despite it's flaws, they're aware of them and trying it hard with their very limited resources.
They need more developers and financing. Improve the renderer, better integration and refactoring, sane and well thought UX, massive file format interoperability, STEP support and used by default for 3D nodels, robust and extensive library, more advanced Gerber viewer, version control and collaborative Edition, visual diffs..
But they aren't infinite developers, that takes time and there's people working very hard in the code in their free time it allowed to partially with some job hours on it (CERN). A robust community must be done for this to happen, at least.
You can donate money or send patches. If I had the money, I would donate 500-1000 to KiCad rather than buy Eagle, specially after their shitty always online DRM shit. What the fuck were they thinking about? I often used Eagle offline, this is a pain in the butt!
There's lots of promising projects, but lacks lots of developers: QUCS, Sigrok and many others I don't remember right now.
This autorouter looks interesting too:
