I wonder if it would be possible to auto-detect this... We could detect how 
many parallel connections the browser is using, but the problem is an HTTP 
compliant browser should pipeline requests, (which few do), and use very few 
connections per server (which firefox does)... ideally we'd have a plugin, 
which could certainly be detected, but then people start exchanging raw 
freenet: url's and compatibility gets to be a pain...
