We are currently working on Freenet 0.8, which will be released later this year, and will include additional performance improvements, usability work, and security improvements, as well as the usual debugging. Features are not yet finalized but we expect it to include Freetalk (a new anonymous web forums tool), a new Vista-compatible installer for Windows (that part will be out in a few days), and hopefully Bloom filter sharing, a new feature
enabling nodes to know what is in their peers' datastores, greatly
improving performance, combined with some related security improvements.

"...Bloom filter sharing.

Bloom filter sharing will enable nodes to know what is in their peers
datastores without impacting anonymity and should result in much improved
performance and better security."

That would be my suggestion.

Best wishes,
Arne


Except that it's not true... bloom filter sharing is at a large cost to security & anonymity (as said in the roadmap).

TENTATIVE ROADMAP

0.8:
[...]
- Tunnels. Greatly improve security, significant performance cost.
- Bloom filters. Greatly improve performance, significant security cost.
- BUT PUT THEM TOGETHER, and you get greatly improved security for the
paranoid at a slighty performance cost, improved security and current
performance or better for the moderately paranoid, and greatly improved
performance for the not so paranoid.
