Yeah, let's compare apples and oranges! ;) Freenet is as much a "filesharing network" than the Internet itself is a "filesharing network". Is the Internet a "filesharing network"? (In some sense - yes.) I've never heard anybody complaining about being the Internet such a poor filesharing network. Direct Connect uses the *Internet* to perform filesharing and there are applications, e.g. Frost, using *Freenet* to perform filesharing. If you don't like Frost, spend money or code. >The main differance is that you don't have to upload the data you >want to share to the network when you use DirectConnect.

Your data is available even if your computer crashes and even if you got hit by a bus and even if someone arrested you. jnk Concerned about your privacy?
