I guess it depends on how long you had Freenet running, and how big the data
store is.  On the first day, it was almost unusable for me.

Now it's better, although as I write this, all I get is "The network is busy,
please try again later" while trying to download FUQID, a program one seems to
absolutely need to download from Freenet...

The whole experience just isn't very newbie-friendly. A lot of people are
probably giving up after a few hours because they don't feel 'geeky' enough.

For a start, I think it would be good to have a current version of the important
programs on the http://www.freenetproject.org/index.php?page=download page.
