It is still the same. For example: If a freeloader is between you and me, I would never get your search results, because you regret to send it via the freeloader route, I will be cut off.

PS: I know I repeat myself, I believe superpeers and swarming will be a better solution to decrease bandwith and handle with "useless" nodes. I personally follow a way of encouraging people to share instead of tolerating freeloading. I see freeloading as a selfish symptom, ppl do it because they can't see the bigger context, that they hurt themselfs.
