Not at all, it works rather well. BearShare clients who enter the BearShare-rich portion of the network benefit from more files with hashes and Keep-Alive support.

it backfired on him when morpheus took all his market share. He can now cluster all the way to zero users.
Morpheus only added users to the Gnutella network, it did not take any away. Fortuntately, BearShare's clumping feature isolated our users from the many bugs in the Morpheus implementation of Gnucleus.

Looks like Shareaza is going to further kick bearshares market in the butt.
Rather doubtful. If anything, Shareaza will cause client developers to build in defenses against this client, since it allows users to have practically no limits on the number of Ultrapeers, download retries, etc...

Not forward thinking, and rather unfriendly to the network if you ask me.

Qtrax anyone?
