Is it really freeriding? I expect it does share as it downloads (I think it's impractical to totally avoid it), but it just doesn't seed after it finishes. Is that right? If so I wouldn't call that freeriding: this is exactly what the protocol was designed for. It's just not going beyond the minimum. Accordingly, I'd suggest calling it "minimal sharing".
That said, why configure the default to the minimum? Why not just ship it with a 1.0x seed ratio target by default?
