Well, there are two sides to this. If they aren't going to succeed, do we really want them to burden the network needlessly? Wouldn't it be better if the data was just permitted to fall out more quickly. Even if Freenet does encourage them to prematurely terminate the download, it will still have requested a number of pieces - so it will still serve to help propogate a file initially.
