Freenet is a large-scale peer-to-peer network which pools the power
of member computers around the world to create a massive virtual
information store open to anyone to freely publish or view information
of all kinds. Freenet is:
Highly survivable: All internal processes are completely anonymized
and decentralized across the global network, making it virtually
impossible for an attacker to destroy information or take control
of the system.
Private: Freenet makes it extremely difficult for anyone to spy on
the information that you are viewing, publishing, or storing.
Secure: Information stored in Freenet is protected by strong
cryptography against malicious tampering or counterfeiting.
Efficient: Freenet dynamically replicates and relocates information
in response to demand to provide efficient service and minimal
bandwidth usage regardless of load. Significantly, Freenet generally
requires log(n) time to retrieve a piece of information in a network
of size n.

Set an expiry date of 2004-08-20 for these BROKEN/IGNORE/FORBIDDEN
ports. They will be removed on or after that date if they are still
broken and no fix has been submitted to GNATS.
o Update to Freenet Stable build 5072 released 20040228 snapshot
o This new build incorporates the new "rate limiting" load balancing
mechanism discussed here. Rate limiting has proven surprisingly
effective in the unstable branch, typically keeping a node's load
within a few percentage points of where it is supposed to be.
This is in stark contrast to previous load balancing attempts
where load was continuously so high as to render Freenet nodes
almost completely useless.
Update version 0.5.2.1
a) fixes "major vulnerability in the HTML filter" in the web interface
