What about encouraging them to leave the connection by indicating that Freenet still considers it active even if the user does not? Aren't you primarily worried about users closing good connections? Perhaps if you reassured the user that the connection was actually good he'd be less likely to remove it haphazardly. Yes it may be redundant, and perhaps you'd end up with every connection either red or green, but maybe the bit of reassurance would work. ~Chris
