Currently Freenet has over 900 downloads a day, 90% of them on Windows, yet only a small number of nodes are added to the network. Uptimes and other churn stats suggest we don't have a big churn problem once people have completed the wizard, although we need more work on this. So it looks like a lot of people are downloading Freenet but not reaching the point of having working opennet nodes.
So we need to figure out why. My money's on problems with antivirus software. One way to do this is to ask somebody, who runs Windows and isn't necessarily an uber-geek, to install Freenet, and see where they get stuck, where they would have given up had you not been there, and report back. This would be very helpful information: Please find somebody, get them to try to install Freenet, and find out at what point they get seriously stuck and/or would have given up. This includes "my AV doesn't trust it, what should I do?" moments: If you weren't there, would they have continued with the installation?
