Right now freenet is most commonly downloaded from a non-secure site,
just authenticated by a non-secure DNS lookup. Most people use the
precompiled jar file, and even the source-compiled one fetches binary
stuff to put in the jar. It is even encouraged to "spread freenet",
which means downloading off of temporary sites.
