I received already 3000 results with LimeWire, although they have a soft limit of 2000 somewhere in their code. About the download-speed... it really depends on how lucky you are. The top speed I had with LimeWire was 7Mbit/s within our campus LAN. So basically it is possible to achieve higher speeds with LimeWire.

I noticed however, that LimeWire very quickly gives up a download while bearshare retries more often. Neither BearShare (which I'm running with WINE) nor LimeWire reach the download performance of kazaa-media-shell, which doesn't connect anymore. Damn, linux gets discriminated against, again!

Apropos. Share your BearShare-client via Gnutella ;-)!
