-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: I thought i'd pass along the following which I was happy to find the other day... http://freenet.sourceforge.net/ May 1, 2000 - Freenet 0.2 Released! Freenet 0.2 has been released, there are too many improvements to list, but it is faster, more efficient, less buggy, and better able to handle downed nodes. Please upgrade your nodes A.S.A.P! What is Freenet? Freenet is a peer-to-peer network designed to allow the distribution of information over the Internet in an efficient manner, without fear of censorship. Freenet is completely decentralized, meaning that there is no person, computer, or organisation in control of Freenet or essential to its operation. This means that Freenet cannot be attacked like centralized peer-to-peer systems such as Napster. Freenet also employs intelligent routing and caching meaning that it learns to route requests more efficiently, automatically mirrors popular data, makes network flooding almost impossible, and moves data to where it is in greatest demand. All of this makes it much more efficient and scalable than systems such as Gnutella. To become a part of Freenet all you need is a computer with an Internet connection and the capability to run a Freenet server. We are currently developing a Java server which we have been testing over the past few weeks, but which is not yet release quality. You can download a snapshot of the latest code from the menu on the left. Although not listed on the page above, there is a functional "Freenet" client/server available for the MacOS.
