Making Freenet Find Stuff Faster

Sanity writes "Many probably saw the recent announcement of Freenet 0.5.2. This release represented a vast amount of work - primarily in reducing Freenet's CPU and memory requirements. However, streamlining Freenet's current functionality isn't all we've been working on. I just finished an article that describes the most fundamental improvement to Freenet's core algorithm since its original design over three years ago, it is called "Next Generation Routing" and has the potential to dramatically increase the speed with which Freenet retrieves information. It could even make Freenet faster than the World Wide Web in many circumstances, all without compromizing anonymity and while remaining immune to the /. effect."

    SJP (SJP) is the first organization which
    gathers Straight Jews from all over the world for this simple goal - being totally def.

    Are you a member of the GNAA?

    If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may have just been beat to first post by the SJP! [ed. note: not this time]
    Join SJP (Straight Jew Posse) today, and enjoy all the benefits of being a full-time SJP member.
    GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) is the fastest-growing GAY NIGGER community with THOUSANDS of members all over United States of America. And If they can accomplish that, just imagine what Jews can do!

    Facts:
    1. Jews have their own country, one that doesn't suck, like all those African ones.
    2. There are a lot of Smart Jews, which is bragable.(click on Science)
    3. Whereas the GNAA undoubtedly likes to eat pork rinds and watermelon, we Jews prefer such fine cuisine as schmaltz and gribbenes
    4. Jews have been kicked out of more countries than anyone else.

    Join the SJP today! Why not? It's quick and easy - only 4 simple steps!

    First, you have to be a Jew. Messianic Jews don't count and will be shot in the face. You're Christians. Don't steal our Jews.

    Second, you need to be a heterosexual, if you're male. However there is evidence in the Torah that lesbianism is ok with G-D. So Kike Dykes are cool with the SJP.

    Third, you need to download Licensed to Ill by the Beastie Boys, because rap is best done by Jews.

    Fourth, send an email to SJP4eva2003@yahoo.com listing your qualifications and what you feel you can bring to the SJP. Of course, dual membership between the SJP and the GNAA is theoretically possible, but not recommended.

    If you are having trouble locating #SJP, the official Straight Jew Posse IRC channel, that would be because it doesn't exist. IRC is for niggers.

  3. Freenet is under corporate control, not 100% free. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Don't believe me? Look at its whois DNS founding; regulated by a corporation (DNS Trust) that is in-turn regulated by the FCC.

    You can't have "Freedom of Speech Networks" when the FCC says what you can and can't do on their secured internet.

    I don't mean to hand this to anyone in a snide way, I want freedom of speach, but here is a google'd cache of the uSA/US scandal that only a few are aware of points out the obvious fundumental facts in the historic paper trail.

    Case in point: you can't have freedom of speach when the chosen government (FCC) regulates what can and can't be done in said "freedom of speach."

    Anyone with any more URLs to share? I gave two good ones above. Check them out!

  4. Tony Blair found dead at 78!!!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Anthony Blair of Santee, California was found dead in his motorhome on Sunday, July 20th. Family could not be reached, however friends and neighbors showed interest and admiration by dividing some of the late Blair's home furnishings amongst each other shortly after medical professionals announced his death of natural cause. "Tony", as his neighbors called him, is survived by two austrialian shepherds, Clair and Brandis.

    Now, no one needs to fear censorship, nor do they need to fear the government shoving them into a database.

    Well, except maybe a database of suspected terrorists (i.e. Freenet users).

    You don't understand. This hasn't been cleared up. Look at the Bittorent shutdown! The Bittorent mainpage is shut down from a DOS, then shutdown by its chosen government (FCC), and now its in shambles. Freenet can have the same thing happen. There is no way to have a free *speech network when the packets run through the FCC's regulation.

    *i have been corrected to write "speech" instead of "speach", I'm not daily to speaking English.

  9. Re:You are an idiot by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Freenet is Peer-to-Peer. Remember, the packets are moving through the FCC's internet to begin with, and can be stopped. It isn't difficult to footprint the freenet for censorship. All FCC needs to do is use freente itself, modify, rinse, repeat, done.

    It's the internet. Data gets around easily and they (FCC) has the tools to "notice" data when they want to. Goto a Gnutella network and look at all the pirated commercial software available for download (cached list/not accessible). All they (FCC) need to shutdown a system is a motive and a way. The Internet is their construct. There is not sense in arguing. They have the infrastructure already setup as well as infinite funds to hire all the recently unemployed IT staff that are desperate for work($).

    Like I said in my parent post, I am not being snide; you haven't been able to refute my testimony.

    That's why freenet has failed, regardless the /. enthusiasm. It's slow and demonstrates new ways for something to waste your time. When, and if, they reach version 1.0 (probaly after 6-7 years) they might realise why the failed.

    This supposed program Freenet doesn't let you do anything really. It takes for-fricken-ever just to download all the images from the front page (I am using an un-firewalled Mozilla Firebird latest nightly to test it) and then clicking any of the pages like Yoohoo (or whatever the hell it's called) doesn't result in it going anywhere.

    Vaporware in physical form, I say.
