Gentoo currently gets the old tarball from sourceforge; from
freenet-0.5.2.1-r8.ebuild :
DESCRIPTION="large-scale peer-to-peer network that creates a massive virtual
information store open to anyone"
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/freenet/${P}.tar.gz"
RESTRICT="nomirror"
HOMEPAGE="http://freenetproject.org/";
Then the user is told to run a config step that updates the jars and seednodes
from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/ as usual on *nix. (Which offers to
give them an unstable build if they press U, maybe it shouldn't right now since
0.5 unstable is sort of deprecated by 0.7 alpha, but that's an issue for whoever
maintains the ebuild.)
