I was wondering if there were any plans to have the option in Freenet for users to make their node read only. That is, content can only be inserted localy and not by requests. Some content providers may want to make their material available permanently (or at least as long as they desire) to freenet users, but do not want to provide resources to Freenet (other than the content they provide of course) for some reason. Some examples of such users would be religious, government (on all levels), media organizations, the entertainment industry and other special interest groups. These users would not find Freenet's anonymity much benefit (and full participation in caching content could be a liability), while Freenet's other qualities would be very attractive. I mention this because I have recently noticed that BitTorrent is showing up on more and more mirror lists for downloads. My own personal bias would be to see Freenet replace BitTorrent in this capacity.
