A disadvantage is that freenet is still a work in progress.
I believe the basic protocol works but is slow.

Which would be fine if we were all just kiddies looking hungrily towards all the free pr0n and warez we could get our grubby little mitts into. :)

Fortunately some of us are more interested in the technical aspect of the underlying network (the addressing, the routing and the topology) The challenge of setting the thing up in the first place. Personally when I hear the words 'zero administration' Im torn between quietly chuckling to myself and making a loud coughing noise sounding something like "cough**bullsh!t**cough".

Don't be fooled by the marketing talk on the freenet site. The freenet network must still be supported by a traditional network layer,  switched, routed, managed, and administrated by the 'technical people'

If were really worried about this kind of thing, we can get ourselves a big point-to-multipoint VPN and encrypt our little hearts out.
