Upside down speak you.
Anyway, the 0.3 and 0.4 nodes won't talk to each other -- there are
currently 2 different Freenet networks[0], and no compatibility across the
0.3/0.4 divide. The metadata format has changed. (There's also still
some active debate about the exact 0.4 metadata format -- watch out for
flying "/" and other loose punctuation floating around on the lists.)
[0] Actually there may be more than that; we don't really know. Some of
the older 0.4 node versions are incompatible with newer 0.4 nodes, so
there may be some isolated micro-Freenets out there that won't talk to
anybody else. Also some of the projects like Espra may have their own
separate Freenets.
