Glad to help Brad,
so another feature of 2.0.2 is the "ultrapeer" system: your client searches for one of these (as you can see under the protocol line in connection tabs) and drops all the other connection. Done this you have become a "leaf", which grants you more bandwidth because the ultrapeer filters out most of the messages (that is why you recieve less incoming searches...). On the other hand, a lot of users (like me) have experienced poor results when being a leaf, but I am confident that with next versions there could be some possible solutions.
