Each UP is connected to 26 leafs, and each leaf is connected to other UP's, so the 5 UP's u r connected to give a total of 130 computers at only the second stage of the search(ur pc searches its 5UPs, they search their 130pcs for u - 2 stages so far). I am led to believe that the standard no.of stages fof Gnutella is 7, so its easy to imagine how many pcs urs is connected to, whether ur an UP or not. Limewires connections change all the time, as pcs log on/off etc. this means that search results are always very variable, but theres always loads of stuff out there.
Correct me if im wrong, no point in spreading lies
