Freenet works extremely poorly if it is run "on demand". Therefore we enable it 
on startup on all 3 OS's. On Windows there is a checkbox in the installer to 
not do this; on the other OSs we haven't got around to implementing one. On 
*nix it's fairly easy to remove the startup job because it's in your crontab 
and we provide a script to remove it (bin/remove_cronjob.sh).

On Mac, things tend to be less well maintained than on even on Windows. We 
never have competent Mac expertise for long. :| Patches are of course welcome.

And yes, this does make running on laptops problematic. Low uptime is 
especially difficult on darknet, but even on opennet, bootstrapping takes time. 
But "mobile" as understood by most of the world means having everything on 
somebody else's server, which *is* always online.... In the long term I hope 
that cheap home-server-boxes will be the solution (e.g. Freenet just about runs 
on a Raspberry Pi).
