FREENET FAQ (http://freenet.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=faq)

Freenet creator chosen as top innovator of 2003

MIT's Technology Review (http://technologyreview.com/)magazine has chosen Ian Clarke, creator of Freenet, as one of the top 100 innovators of 2003 under the age of 35. Its nice to see Freenet being recognised for something other than its ability to scare the bejesus (http://www.lawtechjournal.com/articles/2002/05_021229_roemer.php) out of the RIAA.

Freenet
Freenet is a large-scale peer-to-peer network which pools the power of member computers around the world to create a massive virtual information store open to anyone to freely publish or view information of all kinds. Freenet is:
Highly survivable: All internal processes are completely anonymized and decentralized across the global network, making it virtually impossible for an attacker to destroy information or take control of the system.
Private: Freenet makes it extremely difficult for anyone to spy on the information that you are viewing, publishing, or storing.
Secure: Information stored in Freenet is protected by strong cryptography against malicious tampering or counterfeiting.
Efficient: Freenet dynamically replicates and relocates information in response to demand to provide efficient service and minimal bandwidth usage regardless of load. Significantly, Freenet generally requires log(n) time to retrieve a piece of information in a network of size n.

Freenet QuickStart (http://freenet.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=quickstart)

freenet is more geared towards shareing of beleifes, ideas, knoledge and things that are iilegal to talk about, in this great FREE society we live in, the shareing of files isnt really that high of a priority on freenet
