 As it seems it is used for the Distribution Pages (click on the link
 Spread Freenet in the Web-Interface). This spreads a freenet-zip with
 your personal seednodes. So not all people start with the same
 seednodes. This should make the net better connected I think.
 
 I have activated the distribution port and the allowHosts is the 
 default, i.e. everyone. However, when I clicked Spread Freenet I got a 
 blank page with only one line that says: Error. Any ideas?

Normally that means that you tried to admin it from another machine when
you haven't created any pages yet. You have to create distribution
servlet pages from localhost; then once you have created them you can
access them from anywhere, with the right URL, which it will provide.
The idea here is that only somebody you've invited can see your dist
servlet.

If the port is firewalled it just means your Distribution pages can't be
accessed once they are created. It has nothing to do with the running of
your node.
