No, no, no, those statistics are all wrong. Our crawler is no longer capable of crawling the whole network. We should take those darn numbers of the web page.

To give you a better estimate of the network size, router.limewire.com alone records over half a million unique hits a day. And that doesn't count the majority of BearShare users.

If you're getting few results, it's probably because you're a leaf node connected to a dud ultrapeer. We hope that 2.0.5--in beta today--will make the average ultrapeer better. We also have some more tricks up our sleeve for 2.0.6/2.1.0.

As mentioned previously, you can force LimeWire to be an ultrapeer and avoid leaf mode, though that requires hacking your limewire.props file.
