even just looking for documents and pages to read, i find that most are inaccessible (i get 'network error' even when specifying the maximum 25 hops-to-live on the search).
an interesting and seemingly reliable alternative use of freenet is iip - the
invisible irc project. it needs freenet installed to work and then asks you to connect a standard irc client (eg. mirc) to localhost:6667. as i understand it, this is essentially a completely anonymous irc server - your ip can't be found out, even by the server itself.
i hope more uses like this will start to appear, although it'd be nice if the basic site browsing functions would work as reliably too.
