The routing table is saved to disk, so we already have one.

It's possible, though Freenet isn't optimized for that - its
performance and the strength of its anonymity would suffer, and your
web server could be DoSed with impunity (which is a grave problem in
any anonymous system).

Dismal performance, bugginess, and general unpleasantness should be
expected. Fred sucks.

They don't work yet.

Twofish key setup is more expensive. Rijndael is AES.

Likely.
