I dont think there is that kind of bias, it may be something to do with quality rating in Limewire and Bearshare, they may report that your client is low quality and less people will try it. I have to agree though, that it does seem like less people download from me when I run it, and actually I noticed most people download smaller files, so it may be that they the quality of connection is screwed up and they avoid downloading from me thinking they will not get good speed. That is something worth trying. One thing though, is I rarely see other Phex clients out there, more often then not they download from me.
