It starting to get clear what direction Limewire is going with their client, and its not for large public network such as Internet.
On the contrary. The truth is, LimeWire does not work very well for intranets without modifying the source code.

And they seems to refuse to change both network traffic and horizon to the better for us want to use Limewire on Internet.
Last version (2.9.x) moves from 15kb/s outgoing message bandwidth for ultrapeers down to 8kb/s outgoing bandwidth, while improving the search horizon substantially. However, to reduce the traffic, LimeWire has limited the number of search results to return.

(One problem might be, that if a new LimeWire node connects to a Morpheus/Gnucleus or MyNapster ultrapeer it will return virtually no search results at all, due to the low performance of GnucDNA based ultrapeers).
