    You obviously have no idea what your talking about.

    Gnutella2 isn't just a new searching mechanism. It's a combination of link compression, partial file sharing, download mesh, remote queueing, swarming and many many other technologies. (many which Freenet does not have)

    More people will be using Gnutella2 than Freenet anyways. Freenet's search methods dont' really work. The only files readily availiable on it are popular files. So you couldn't really get out that "secret information" unless there were a kabillion sources. Not so on Gnutella2.

    Perhaps you could first (A) Read the spec, (B) Download and use Shareaza and then (C) Learn more about the technology and methods it uses.
