Here’s how it works: Freenet is an anonymous peer-to-peer data-sharing network similar to BitTorrent, but with one key difference: All uploaded data is assigned a unique key, sliced up into small, encrypted chunks and scattered across different computers on the network. Next, head over to the Freenet Project website, and download the Freenet client for your operating system. Shareaholic - Tool For Your Social Networks, Email, Blogs, IM, Etc.
