Talking Props for the alpha / state of the network

This thing rocks, even for the alpha. It's simple and fast. LimeWire may be prettier, but it's slow as hell (don't blame Java, blame bloated software) and, from my experience, doesn't work.

My question is this: whenever I used LimeWire, literally 100% of every single download I have ever tried returned busy or refused. Just to test, I tried to download some NSync (ugh), since a search for that comes back with thousands of responses, and still couldn't get anything. When using NapShare, I got 4 or 5 downloads completed right away for an obscure song. Does anyone else have this kind of experience? Do other gnutella clients pick and choose who they upload to?

Thanks for any insight you may have, and again, props on the alpha. Even without the automated downloading, it is a pleasure to use.
