Freenet is a Peer-to-Peer network with main focus on security and anonymity (for both authours and consumers of information). It is based on a paper(pdf) by Ian Clarke. In 2005 Freenet was completely rewritten because of a new design concept that was to be implemented - the Darknet. This new version of Freenet, namely version 0.7, is not compatible to any older versions. This article deals with Freenet 0.7 exclusively.
