Well, not quite (frost uses FCP, and ~ half of freenet uses frost

No, this is for the Distribution Servlet, which when enabled provides
something resembling a download mirror of freenet, but using locally
generated seednodes - the idea is to make it easy to get freenet from
somebody other than freenetproject.org, and use their seednodes; this
makes a better network.

* frost is crap because a) it's spammable, b) it uses non-redundant
splitfiles and c) it sets a stupid mime type for them.
