When I use FrostWire, most other clients are also FrostWire. But then again, I often see the same effect in Azureus (BitTorrent). Maybe the clients preferentially share within their own kind, and connect to others only when they have spare resources?

If so, this would imply a “partitioning� of the Gnutella/BitTorrent networks...
