Both address the "make it difficult to trace" issue in somewhat similar ways. Tor is probably more famous for its "provide an anonymous proxy" function, but also supports "hidden" storage. The biggest difference is that in the Tor case, the person running the storage knows where the files are and what they are - it's just difficult for anybody else to find out where it really is. Freenet is more oriented towards totally obfuscated storage, where *nobody* knows what a given file is, or where it is actually stored, until you actually fetch it (and even then, you don't know where the data came from).
