I get it, freenet is not a worldwide community (openet), it's a bunch of private nets (darknets). Instead of growing to be huge like 0.5, 0.7 is inherently made to be small, unless you want to advertise on IRC. For now, my 'advertised on IRC' machine, is used for testing purposes only. Once things are running I remove all of my connections and build my own darknet of people I know and we use it as a private place to meet. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/
