Yup.  If you've got some space on your network to spare you might be 
nice and make a permanent node too since the Freenet network is in need 
of extra space.  Takes holes punched in the firewall but IMHO it's worth 
it.  Beware the k-porn though - as with any "free speech" system it 
attracts all types.  Most of the time those are separated but I've been 
the victim of occasional "mis-named" files on Frost that had, shall we 
say "unwelcome" content in them. :-(  Thankfully, in theory, nobody can 
prove what you have on your permanent node because it's encrypted and 
part of the larger whole.

I hope more people check into it.  It's not a completely reliable 
network yet but it's getting there and it's totally private.  ISPs can 
tell if you're connected to it but not what you're looking 
at/downloading on it.  A good thing in this day and age...
