There are around 3000 running nodes at any given moment.
I run one and Sone (social networking) and FMS (forums) are among my primary means of communication.
I use it to stream the creativecommons web series bloodspell because it is far too little known despite its awesomeness and this proves that streaming a series over Freenet / Hyphanet works.
Also Freesites these days aren’t slower than newspaper sites anymore — though part of the reason is that newspapers are crippled with advertisements and surveillance misfeatures. A well-made website on the clearnet is faster, but the typical site on Freenet / Hyphanet is no longer slower than the typical (ad-encumbered, heavy-JS-framework-loading) site on the clearnet.
As a user put it nicely: Freenet / Hyphanet: the internet that should have been.
