  Hot topic. Can be very useful, can also be abused...

  There are concerns that there are more people using this software for bad uses (such as illegal pornography) than those who use it for legitimate purposes. How this can be overcome is beyond me. Though the theory of this software is justified, I can't see myself using it for the simple fact that I would be putting myself at risk with the law and no pedophile is worth the hassle. I'm sorry. Use this software with great caution. The idea is good, but the uses are not good.

• freenet 0.7.5-rc1 file released: contrib-ext26-source.tar.bz2.sig

  9th June, 2009 - Freenet 0.7.5 release candidate 1 is now available! The Freenet Project is very pleased to announce the release of the first beta of Freenet 0.7.5. Freenet is free software designed to allow the free exchange of information over the Internet without fear of censorship, or reprisal. To achieve this Freenet makes it very difficult for adversaries to reveal the identity, either of the person publishing, or downloading content. The Freenet project started in 1999, released Freenet 0.1 in March 2000, and has been under active development ever since. Freenet is somewhat unusual in that you can publish content to Freenet, and then disconnect from the network. This content will remain available to other Freenet users, although it may eventually be deleted if nobody is interested in it. Freenet will copy and move the content around the network according to demand, making it very difficult for an adversary to remove content. Freenet will automatically create more copies of popular content to ensure that it will always be available. Freenet 0.7 introduced the "darknet" concept, allowing users to only connect to their trusted friends (and thus to their friends' friends, and the entire network), greatly reducing their vulnerability to attack. You can use Freenet even if you don't know any other Freenet users, it just won't be as secure. Freenet 0.7.5 beta 1 features major improvements to performance and usability, as well as improvements to security and robustness. In particular: * Freenet now uses a database (DB4O) to store longer-term data that must survive a restart. This significantly increases Freenet's speed and reduces its memory usage. In particular, you can now have almost any number of downloads and uploads in progress without worrying about memory usage. * Improvements to the web interface make it clearer what you can do with Freenet, show progress when loading a page or file will take more than a few seconds, integrate search into the browse page, and generally improve usability in many areas. * Significantly improved performance for inserting and retrieving data, and also Freenet's initial connection to the network * A new installer for Windows which works with Vista as well as Windows XP/2000the (Freenet also works fine on Mac and Linux systems). * Many other optimizations * Lots and lots of bug fixes! We need wider testing for 0.7.5 before we can declare it to be ready, so this is only a release candidate. If you are an existing or past Freenet user, or just want to get in before everyone else does, please test Freenet 0.7.5 rc1 (which is equal to build 1217). In particular we are concerned about possible bugs in the installers (for Windows and Mac in particular), but please report any bugs or problems you have downloading, installing, or using Freenet. General feedback on how usable and fast Freenet is would also be welcome. Hopefully 0.7.5 will be released within the next week. Please get your friends to try it out, and tell us everything that they got stuck on, but please don't slashdot us yet! :) You can get Freenet from: http://freenetproject.org/download.html You can report bugs: The bug tracker: https://bugs.freenetproject.org/ The support mailing list: support@freenetproject.org Or talk to us on IRC: #freenet on irc.freenode.net There is a lot of work still to do on Freenet, particularly when it comes to ease of use. If you have Java programming or web design skills, and would like to help us improve Freenet, please join our development mailing list and introduce yourself. Also, if you can insert a full XMLSpider index anonymously, please do so immediately and contact us with the new key. Translators are also always welcome, if you can translate strings from English into some language that Freenet does not properly support yet, please contact us.
