One interesting point... browsers that prefetch will go straight through
the warning page, and therefore be vulnerable to web-bugs...

I agree. Just last night I commented on the slow speed of freenet. After 
reading the "README file" I found the section on tweaking mozilla. I did 
this for both mozilla 1.5 and mozilla firebird. What a positve 
difference it made. I am also experimenting with programs to "suck" 
websites. For example I used one such program to download the freedom 
engine site and its many links. Now it wasnt perfect at retrieving all 
the links but the next time I accessed the freedom engine site through a 
browser it was faster because many links had been pulled in already. By 
the way, I know very little, so this really is just my 2 cents worth 
from my experiences.

Found in README file-
"SETTING UP A BROWSER FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
---Mozilla and Gecko Based Browsers(ie. Netscape):
Many browsers limit the number of simultaneous connections to something far
too low for efficiently browsing Freenet (since Freenet pages often have
much higher latency than web pages). This can usually be reconfigured. For
example, for Mozilla post-1.3, go to about:config, and change the following
settings:
network.http.max-connections200
network.http.max-connections-per-server			100
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server	10
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy	50

The first thing new users say is "slow". More often than ease of use or
installation complaints the speed is always the first thing they comment
on in my experience.
