Whats new in version 0.7.5 Build 1433:• Freenet now uses a database to store longer-term data that must survive a restart. This 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 files and especially pages, and also for Freenet's initial connection to the network.
• A new installer for Windows which works with Vista as well as Windows XP/2000 (Freenet also works on Mac and Linux systems).
• Many other optimizations.
• Lots and lots of bug fixes!
Publisher review:Freenet is an open source and cross-platform 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 network is entirely decentralized and publishers and consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can never be true freedom of speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack.
Freenet is unique in that it handles the storage of content, meaning that if necessary users can upload content to Freenet and then disconnect. We've discovered that this is a key requirement for many Freenet users.
Once uploaded, content is mirrored and moved around the Freenet network, making it very difficult to trace, or to destroy. Content will remain in Freenet for as long as people are retrieving it, although Freenet makes no guarantee that content will be stored indefinitely.
Requirements:
- 256MB RAM or more
- 1 GHz or more processor
Operating system:Mac OS X
