If you're feeling insane, you could try it. I don't recommend it, though.
In a file system, you want data to stay around, even when it's not being used
very much. Freenet has not been designed for that sort of situation.
If you're looking for an existing protocol that could be modified into a
distributed file system, I suggest you look into Gopher (really! No joke).

If the designers of X-Window build cars, there would be no fewer than five
steering wheeles hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same
prinicples--but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo. Useful
feature, that.
