Freenet does not currently implement onion routing, however it is on our roadmap to implement a form of it. This is likely to be implemented in the first few months of next year.
The core difference between Freenet and Tor is that in Tor there is a distinction between clients, which just initiate and receive connections, and servers, which form part of the anonymity network. In Freenet, all peers participate in the anonymity network. This makes Freenet significantly more of a challenge to implement than Tor. Consequently, I think it is fair to say that Tor is a more mature technology than Freenet at this time. Ian.
