   Yeah the issue that I have with freenet is that it's really slow, filled with   
   kiddie porn, I don't want that on my computer. I hate not knowing what I have   
   on my computer because of it. So I have tried it out even went so far as to   
   publish a helpful site.    
   The issue is that it's filled with pedo's and anarchist's so that's never a   
   good combo
