Right, but in the best case (the content is stored on all neighboring nodes in FN) the only speed difference would be in crypto algorithms used and protocol peculiarities (handshakes, key exchange or something like this). I think? I mean, if the content is not further than one hop, the Freenet functions very similarly to torrent. Or am I mistaken?
