No, it's just that LimeWire's UDP crawler (offline atm) counts more hosts than the official crawler and it just counts LimeWire ultrapeers and connected hosts. If you add the numbers from BearShare's crawler you will end up with some 800,000 - 900,000 hosts in total.

Not really.

I don't have the bandwidth to do complete crawls of the network, but the proportions should more or less right. There are mostly LimeWire and BearShare hosts on the network with LimeWire currently being the most popular Gnutella client.
