Making Freenet Find Stuff Faster 283
Sanity writes "Many probably saw the recent announcement of Freenet 0.5.2. This release represented a vast amount of work - primarily in reducing Freenet's CPU and memory requirements. However, streamlining Freenet's current functionality isn't all we've been working on. I just finished an article that describes the most fundamental improvement to Freenet's core algorithm since its original design over three years ago, it is called "Next Generation Routing" and has the potential to dramatically increase the speed with which Freenet retrieves information. It could even make Freenet faster than the World Wide Web in many circumstances, all without compromizing anonymity and while remaining immune to the /. effect."

Now the question all the new freenetters really want answered, is - after installing, configuring and letting run for a while.... How do I get some porn off the nextwork? Is there a cache of keys on the netsomewhere that I need to be able to find or what? Is there a crawler app that just keeps track of what it knows it's run across and builds it's own little directory??????

Funny that Windows users have to click on rabbits while Linux users run a script.
Is it really that necessary to insult the Windows users' intelligence by not including a batch file?

Do not download porn from Freenet. (Score:4, Funny)
If you download porn, the spyware programmed into Freenet will foward your IP to the RIAA, FBI, NSA, and then post it to a few hacking/warez newsgroups and forums.
Freenet is NOT a pornster program.

Freenet is now being 'fixed' like a leaky faucet is fixed.
The RIAA wants the digitial audio/video market 'fixed' like a crooked horse race is fixed.
With the new Freenet the RIAA is about to be 'fixed' like your dog at the vet's is fixed.
I think that about covers it.
