BTW, this is not necessarily a boolean choice (should the default be true or 
false).

For example, while we are in the mood to make checkboxes, we could have these 
(both default to false):

[ ] Connect to strangers (needed if you don't have friends using Freenet).
[ ] Send a report if installation fails (using HTTPS).

And, in this example, clicking the first box could select the second (as the 
first requires a HTTPS connection anyway). So another option is that the 
default be "if they use opennet".
