I am an industry partner in a computer science student project to potentially use Freenet to transmit files. We are keen to adapt or create a lightweight client, preferably an applet, that can talk to Freenet seed nodes and post files. We are familiar with the downloadable Freenet client but are seeking to use the network for one-off sessions from people who cannot host a node nor download anything. The other end of the project seeks to do the same thing for fetching such submissions. All submitted files will be very small, only a few K. We have some resources to create new work, work with your protocols etc.
Can you please let me know if this is a good idea, possible, already done etc? I apologise for using a "support" list to ask such a question but I suspect this kind of thing will be known by those who listen in here.
Ultimately, the project would like to promote the establishment of Freenet nodes to bolster the network but for starters, we need to explore its potential for such low-footprint users.
Best, Craig.
