This is because although the The Freedom Engine did not change today it 
is actually a different page u are trying to view. TFE is what's called 
a DBR site. Because no one can delete or change content in Freenet it 
makes it impossible to update a site like TFE. To get round this a DBR 
site redirects you to another page based on the current time. Today's 
page is at a different address to yesterdays. Most DBR sites update once 
a day. At the moment if it cant fetch today's site it will not try any 
pervious ones even if they were in your data store. It did not change 
today which means the author has inserted and identical site for both days.

Hope this helps.
