How does Freenet compare to other file sharing software?
Superficially, Freenet will operate similarly to other information sharing systems like Napster and Gnutella. But since Freenet was designed for different goals, the underlying structure and behavior will be different. Napster, for example, relies on a single centralized server. Freenet’s decentralized, adaptive nature makes it more efficient than similar systems, more scalable, and less vulnerable to attack.
