Uh oh, yes it sounds to me like he thinks that also. ^^ What he said. Running freenet does *not* redirect the traffic of other internet applications to provide them with anonymity/privacy. All it will do to them is use bandwidth and slow them down ;) It is a discrete network with its own clients (fproxy aka the "Web Interface", Frost, Fuqid, FuQT, pm4pigs) and you are only anonymous when using those clients. Frost is the nearest thing freenet currently has to a filesharing client (http://jtcfrost.sourceforge.net/), it also has integrated bulletin board messaging. You could try posting a message there to see if anyone has whatever it is you're looking for. However you should be aware that the active frost poster "community" is not vast so this may not be successful :( Alternatively if you can find a torrent of it you could possibly get it via i2p with azereus' plugin for this purpose, but I hear it's painfully slow and if it's an old deleted release there probably aren't any torrents of it anyway :/ If you're really patient you could wait for the 0.7 release at least a few months away, theoretically it holds promise for making freenet faster for filesharing purposes.
