For whatever it is worth, I have had 500 unique IP addresses attempt to contact my node in the past several days. My IP addr is in the seednodes.ref directory. These are mainly nodes that have been set up or updated in the past 3 weeks, as I wasn't in the directory previously. I don't know how far-flung announcements can get (it's insignificant?). It has been interesting to hear that the "whole network" collapsed recently. What are the chances that a large number of people installed 5028 months ago, and that they have remained connected and functioning during this volatile period ? People who do not participate on the maillists or IRC. People who have not even visited the Freenet website in the past 6 months. Perhaps even people who don't use TFE or TFEE but rather have created their own 'domains' of information. I would guess, based on my observations, that the total number of hosts running any version Freenet, is probably somewhere between 1000 and 20,000 . Of course, trying to estimate the size of Freenet is next to impossible, but I'll take a stab :) Any other gamblers out there ?
