Please feel free to post any ways to "Squash" Freenet at the Pub, it's great to have lots of minds involved in the development of Freenet. Many ways have been discussed and the current software reflects this. There are archives of the discussions, see the links on the site.
Gnutella and Napster shows the IP of the server that has the files. Possible connection to the owner and a liability problem.
Gnutella was swamped and mostly useless when people thought Napster was gone.
Freenet is better in these areas, but not "perfect".
I see a day soon when these systems will be tied together. Some people will run Gnutella nodes and not care because they are personally "suit proof" or living on a private island. Plus, it's expensive to go after 1000's of nodes.
The one problem with Freenet is paying the bandwidth bill. Also, you have no say as to what is stored on your node. Say, you like MP3's or want to put out your own MP3's, and you don't like porno, you have little choice as to what your bandwith is used for. "Subspaces" help a bit in this area.

This is only the start of Freenet, you know these guys are going to tie it into Gnutella, Mojo and other systems so it's harder to stop. There's a Perl client available so people can setup Freenet access on their web pages, see FCRC so you should see web based access soon. I see a Perl server coming someday soon.
For Windows Active State has ActivePerl, a FREE Perl interpreter, easy install. All you do is type the name of the perl program at a DOS window. Perl programs are easy to change, and docs come with the download.
Most of the Clients *will* work through a firewall, depending on how your sysadmin sets it up. So you should be able to access Freenet data OK.

Other Clients are being developed and are available HERE.
