To use it, you must download the +Freenet software, available for Windows, Mac, Linux and other operating systems. +Once you install and run Freenet, your computer will join a global, decentralized +P2P network. You will be able to publish and consume information anonymously, either +through your web browser, or through a variety of third party applications.</p> +<p>Freenet 0.7 is a ground-up rewrite of Freenet. The key user-facing feature in +Freenet 0.7 is the ability to operate Freenet in a "darknet" mode, where your Freenet +node will only talk to other Freenet users that you trust. This makes it much more +difficult for an adversary to discover that you are using Freenet, let alone what +you are doing with it. 0.7 also includes significant improvements to both security +and performance.</p> +<p>Freenet 0.7 RC1 can be downloaded from:</p> +<p><a href="http://freenetproject.org/download.html";>http://freenetproject.org/download.html</a></p> +<p>This release would not have been possible without the release of numerous volunteers, +and Matthew Toseland, Freenet's full time developer. Matthew's work is funded through +donations via our website (as well as a few larger sponsors from time to time).
