How about "we are downloading this page from Freenet" ? :) I like "Your computer is downloading this page from Freenet", but then the next string would be: "Your computer is checking your local cache for this page or file. If it is not stored there, it will try to download it from Freenet." IMHO Freenet as a piece of software makes sense from a user's point of view, like Word. And then "the [Freenet] network" for the network. So maybe: Freenet is downloading this page Freenet is checking your local cache for this page or file. If it is not found, it will try to download it from the network.
