My experience has been fairly good. Using Frost, I'd say I've retrieved

I guess the real pain is in inserting large files. I used to insert some 
text-only small sites and the time required wasn't negligible.

In truth and IMO, a popular release site a-la somethingreactor is 
something bound to happen sooner or later, here or over I2P or something 
else.
