I dabbled with Freenet when it first came out in '99/2000 is but I found the performance just awful - think I once waited 30 mins for a 100k html file. And each year after they said "we solved that, works great now" but it didn't. I'd be curious to know what it's really like now. Well, I would, except that there was so much CP on Freenet I don't think I'd dare install it because of the risk of taint. Is there much legit anon material?

There is a lot of personal opinion nowadays — along with forums and microblogging and people discussing philosophical arguments in IRC-over-Freenet (FLIP). You’ll wait up to 30s¹ for a 100k html file nowadays. 1 minute for a 2 MiB website. ¹: if you have at least 10 peers. If you try to run with the lowest possible specs (5 peers), you won’t get a good experience, but with 10 peers it works pretty well (and the Japanese with their awesome connection speeds actually get 60 peers).
