I wish one of these networks would take off, be it GNUnet, OneSwarm, I2P, freenet or any other, I don't care.
The thing is, performance must be at least decent if the authors of these protocols want people to start using them.

So I think that such networks will be niche until enough governments try to censor internet at once. This will make enough people interested in networks like Freenet to make their performance ok. I would like for Freenet to be adopted much faster and on a greater scale without some cataclysm for free speech, but it doesn't look like it's possible :(
Perhaps some of the other things are closer to this.
ajax probably won't ever be fun but I could not care less about that. :D
Routing by default GREATLY improves the network, but may be undesirable/unrequested behavior by people.
There's a thread on zzz.i2p about it.
What's a good theory as to why these ones haven't taken off?
Then there's the network effect. BitTorrent is more popular, ergo there will be more files available
Might be interesting to see if a few computers strictly on a LAN could communicate quickly over networks like these or if the actual software is slow.
Even a Lua implementation would be enough for me.
While currently only available in-browser (Chrome and Firefox Nightly), it is actually a C++ Library and you can build native apps as well.

That in fact your idea has a fair bit of merit. I will add "investigate adding libjingle to MOAI" to my MOAI to-do list, because .. it seems do'able.
Remove the trailing slash and your link works.
