No, it isn't secure, because someone can easily confirm that a node is a transient node (and most likely a leaf node) by trying to request all sorts of data from it at different times. If the feds determine that you are a leaf node, they can easily bust you when you insert a pile of Co$ info into Freenet through a node that just happens to be run by the feds. -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
