Thanks Patrick,
This is great. We need to figure out some kind of automatic
mirroring system now - Nextgens - any ideas?

Basically, what we need are volunteers for mirroring - we could
set up
an automatic mirroring system, where we have a list of mirrors, and
downloads.freenetproject.org will do a round-robin between them.
Also,
downloads.freenetproject.org will automatically ssh into each of the
mirrors whenever a new file becomes available to upload them over
scp.
Ian,
I've got a Comp Sci Alumni account at UW-Madison. Madison hosts Linux
ISOs, Debian package archives, and other high volume stuff. I doubt
they'll begrudge me 3MB, even if I get 5,000 downloads/day.
According to:

I'm not a lawyer, but I think I can sell the "activities in support of
research" angle of Freenet to anybody who asks.
Let me know what you think.
