I just fired up BearShare, using PG2 and my firewall of course , and have only connected to BearShare UPs....10 at this point and I'm going to end up at about 30 connections within an hour or so...I usually see only a few non-BS UPs and those are usually LW....been pretty slow finding good UPs to connect to lately, but that's probably because PG2 has been blocking so many attempts at connection for a while now....

in short I think you are seeing some of the mafiaa using BS as a client to spam the network...
