Re: China starts to get serious over cyberspace

I had wanted a freenode for a long long time.

Then I finally got a place of my own.

So I set up my node on my athlon 800..

and it just sat there.
and collected data,

and then I tried to do some browsing,

and performance was always horrible.

And I left it running for a few weeks...

Finally, I decided I needed the bandwidth for something useful. =\

Freenet is a great concept, I just wish it worked. =(
