But web servers are reliable and fast. Freenet's unreliable and
slow. You can kill two birds with one stone by tarballing websites
into redundant splitfiles, but it'll be a nuisance when the tarballs
start growing uncomfortably large.

I think it's a net gain when used tastefully, and it has the
pleasant side-effect of enforcing compression.
