Is anyone on here a member of Freenet?

See http://freenetproject.org/whatis.html

To connect successfully, one needs to know others on the network:


Freenet 0.7 is different to most other P2P networks in that, to protect your security, you only connect directly to other people you trust, but through them you gain access to the entire Freenet network.
When you first start Freenet 0.7 your node will not know any other nodes on the network, you need to connect to other nodes - at least three. Ideally you should find people you trust that are already part of the Freenet 0.7 network and connect to them, but if that isn't possible in the early stages of the Freenet 0.7 network you can try connecting to the irc server irc.freenode.net and join the channel #freenet-refs, to see if anyone will connect to you.

Sorry Ron, not a member. But I have fooled around with some of the other free anonymiser networks... they do all they promise but your internet will run really, really slowly. Just a heads up for when you do find those three connections...
