Hallo:
First, the more connections you have, the slower will your downloads be. This is because messages are routed through each of your connections consuming, say, 0,5KB/sec each. So all depends on your internet connection, for modem users I would recommend 3 connections. I use DSL and I am having 6 connections, this is enough, I think. More replies? Only slightly, if at all, I guess, but who knows.....
Second, I would strongly recommend Gnucleus. It is small and stable, though under development. I believe it to be the fasttest client also. In my experience Limewire is big, slow due to Java, and I dislike it's appearance. This is very subjective, though.
Bearshare is also a good and fast and stable client, but due to some issues (read this and other fora) I can not recommend it any longer.
Greetings.....
