I find it funny that all of these 0.7 users are saying that the 0.7 network is better and more secure than the 0.5 network. They say this even while we see these warnings about critical bug fixes, peers in the 0.7 network being able to monitor what comes from your node, and the IRC channels where people trade references could have cops monitoring or actively trading these references. Now you mention that there is a cap on bandwidth. WTF? This is why I'm staying with the 0.5 network until either 0.7 becomes useful, or another anonymous network (ANts http://antsp2p.sourceforge.net/) surpasses the 0.5 network in usability, popularity, and security. It would be sad to see Freenet become just a footnote in the computer chronicles while other anonymous networks become more popular and Freenet loses it's user base. Maybe some Chinese Christian dissident will use it to speak freely, but it won't matter much if there is no one to listen. > > > ----- Anonymous ----- 2006.08.27 - 20:09:01GMT ----- > > > > The ref doesn't change if your IP changes.
