I think you manage that pretty well. ? >I dont think this section should be too technical, it is mainly to spark a >interest with the reader and to get across a very basic understanding of what >Freenet is.

So I'd suggest the "Significantly, Freenet generally requires log(n) time to retrieve a piece of information in a network of size n." line in the bullet list at the top be dropped. It's probably worth mentioning at some point (maybe in another part of the site), but it's way too technical for a quick summary of Freenet's features.
