I don't think an analogy with a low-bandwidth link is apt, unless you are extremely pessimistic about Freenet's performance going forward. I see no reason why downloads (and uploads) to Freenet should not be able to max out a broadband connection. Anyway, since it is clear that in this discussion I'm in a minority (of 1), I will concede the issue. Ian.
