I have been following Freenet development for years now, and it is still very much a work-in-progress.

I decided to give the latest Windows snapshot of Freenet 0.5rc1, “the first ‘stable’ release in far too long”, a ride around the block.

Well, it takes about one NY minute to realize that the main problem with USING Freenet is actually FINDING STUFF on Freenet. I will need to set up an index of my local node some time, with the perl script from here (and here’s a sample of what it can do), if I get inspired, and can get my head fully behind the concept that (“censorship is evil” && “copyright is bad” && etc. etc.).
