Data distribution on Freenet doesn't work like that. Data segments are
actually spread all across Freenet, ideally with no particular peer
having a large portion of a large splitfile. I don't think having fast
random LAN connections would speed things up -- the bottleneck will
still be the LAN's connection to the Internet. (Not to mention the fact
that it would be at least somewhat less secure. (Better chance of
traffic analysis and such tricks against you.))
