Haven’t heard of torrent clients, or anything related to the bittorrent protocol, running on the Freenet network. They do have a list of their standard apps here freenet.org/apps/ , were you referring to some other app enabling bittorrent that isn’t listed there? To be fair I’m way out of the loop, last time I tried Freenet must have been 20-something years ago. Apparently its been forked at some point and now Hyphanet exists as well (www.hyphanet.org). The only reason I noticed is that back when I tried freenet there was 1 file sharing app that people sort of used called Frost (jtcfrost.sourceforge.net) I just looked it up and it still exists but seems to work for the Hyphanet version of Freenet, maybe not the baseline Freenet itself. It’s not torrents but it exist if that’s your internet. Also keep in mind unless things have drastically changed Freenet is SLOW, so file sharing is going to be SLOW. You’ve been warned :P PS - Maybe check out I2P (i2p.net), Torrents over I2P is a thing and more people should be using that IMO. You won’t need a VPN nor need to worry about port forwarding anymore. Downside is that it’s slower than regular torrents (but much, much faster than anything on Freenet). Another downside is that not enough people are using it so not a lot of seeds/peers.
