Freenet

[Lil' Abner]

While I've read up on it a bit, I don't see anything about whether it's
"safe" or not. Has anyone here had any experience with it or have any
comments about it?

There seems to me to be no comparison between the two.

This is about the best I could find for now, how reliable this information is...

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_BitTorrent_clients>

Freenet is not listed, unless you are willing to edit the Wiki page, there will
be no comparison.

But that's what I'm saying: Freenet isn't really a BitTorrent client, even
if they do have certain features in common.

I'd agree with your assesment. the latest build of utorrent is
impressive; Now it includes more cache information from the trackers; you
can see how many times each tracker has confirmed a complete download.
Pretty nice.

It seems alot like the waste network... Except for outright duplication
aspects.

I really do not know much about this other than it offers P2P, whatever else is there
to read and decide if that is what they want, I'll stick with uTorrent *less* Ask.Com !

I installed it, it runs as a service and you use your browser to connect
to it... I didn't like it.. from what little navigation I was able to do,
it had porn, fetish, and various things like that mostly.
