Re: [freenet-support] couple of questions
Odd: I always get a password error. There is a known bug[0] that makes it impossible to login with a username containing a -, even though accounts can be created with those names. Aah ok, that indeed is then the issue. That was one of the issues. The other was an incorrect hostname and portnumber for FCP.

That way freenet-nodes can interconnect and speed up distribution of data. Data distribution on Freenet doesn't work like that. Data segments are actually spread all across Freenet, ideally with no particular peer having a large portion of a large splitfile. I don't think having fast random LAN connections would speed things up -- the bottleneck will still be the LAN's connection to the Internet.

Re: [freenet-support] idea
True, but it can be used to find a way to other nodes further down the path. This way one doesn't need to connect to the central seednodes to find ways to reach the global network/the rest of the freenet network. Ah, for initial connection to Freenet that might be useful, although I don't think it'll be used too often. (I have trouble finding Freenet friends in my entire city -- let alone in my LAN :p.) You can add known Well I was thinking maybe in the future we're all using mesh networking over wifi (or whatever wireless protocol we then have). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking Currently nobody is preventing you to anonymously buy a wifi card (with a non-registered mac address - some cards even enable you to change it) so then you could hook into the mesh without anyone knowing it is you. Ok, that was not your point :-) Ok currently maybe not too many nodes in the net but maybe this changes when governments restrict access to what you can browse. Here in Europe governments already start talking about installing filters. Currently only for kiddy porn but I'm afraid that when such a filter is in place the step to block certain political views or so is much smaller. Normal people (your neighbour so to say) start to know these things like FreeNet/Tor.

(and trustworthy) lan members to your list of darknet-friends, and connect that way to Freenet without using any seednodes. Or you can modify your seednodes.fref file by only including references to your LAN nodes. It is also a matter of convenience. If I visit some conference I don't want to be hassled with the need of configuring all kinds of software just to get work done. For that DHCP is too centralised (centralised == bad). It's also not a good idea to be able to broadcast to anyone that you're using Freenet. (To prevent them from blacklisting you, et cetera.) (The whole point of Darknet mode was to make this impossible.) If I'm at a conference, i don't have to register my mac address. So I setup my wifi, connect to tor for regular internet traffic and freenet for what it is for. Same thing for that mesh I wrote about above.
