I think you manage that pretty well.

Agreed. 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.
