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)."

    "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[...]"

    The verb should be IS because it is referring to 'downloading.' You wouldn't say "Reliable downloading are..."

    And also, the term is "cited".

    End result:

    "Reliable downloading ... is cited ..."

    "Sighted"?!?

    The word here is "cited". Not "sighted" not "sited" either.

    cite
    tr.v. cited, citing, cites
    1: To quote as an authority or example.
    2: To mention or bring forward as support, illustration, or proof: cited several instances of insubordinate behavior.
    3:
    a: To commend officially for meritorious action in military service.
    b: To honor formally.
    4: To summon before a court of law.

    I know spelling flames are considered rude in Slashdot culture, but this is not just misspelled, it is the wrong word.
