I recently, and finally, tried Freenet.
The basic idea of Freenet is a secure peer to peer network of files.

It goes like this: You browse it like you browse the internet but you don't request webpages from a main server, you request them from a host you are connected to. If this host doesn't have it it requests it from someone else.
All and all until someone has the file/webpage (or when it's not found), the file then circuits back to the user and is stored on all the nodes that happened to be on its way.

With Freenet you are actually storing webpages and files locally and in a distributed manner.

PS: What I presented is a very "dumb" approach to how Freenet works, for accurate details check their websites.
