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".
