I wonder if it would be possible to auto-detect this... We could detect how
many parallel connections the browser is using, but the problem is an HTTP
compliant browser should pipeline requests, (which few do), and use very few
connections per server (which firefox does)... ideally we'd have a plugin,
which could certainly be detected, but then people start exchanging raw
freenet: url's and compatibility gets to be a pain...
