LimeWire has an option to detect freeloaders and to reduce their downloads by reporting 'file not found' when they attempt to connect.

That's not quite how the freeloader blocking works. LimeWire only keeps freeloaders from opening incoming connections to your client.
So if only a few Ultrapeers enable that options, it won't have any effect.
When a client sends you a download request via HTTP, it won't tell you how many files it is sharing, so you can't block freeloaders from downloading from you.
