Freenet 0.5.1 Released, P2P Network Stabilizing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gonna-get-scary dept.

mids writes "With version 0.5.1, Freenet isn't only the most secure & anonymous P2P network, but also getting pretty fast! Reliable downloading of files as large as 700MB from Freenet at average download rates as high as 100k/sec on a broadband internet connection are sighted (which compares quite favorably to more conventional P2P applications)."

    File sharing clients don't get Slashdotted... they just give an error saying "More download sources required".

    What the hell is the point in defining an acronym, and then never using it in the rest of your text? Why even bother doing it? It's completely pointless, and really annoying. Stop it for fuck sake.
