Yes, and also when you made the post, (the original one 3 months ago) LimeWire was a lot less popular than it is now.

That's "Are there any test results like that our now?"

Here are some statistics I acomulated:
I used modified Gnucleus to count unique IP's who responded
to my queries. I did a LOT of queries, so I think I reached almost every IP in my horizon who shared any file.

LimeWire 1540
BearShare 748
Swapnut 614
Gnotella 120
Gnucleus 84
Unrecognized 28
Xolox 26
Mactella 5
Gnut 5
Gtk-gnutella 2

Total 3172

I collected some statistical data myself (with LimeWire, though) and I found that, especially when using an ultrapeer-enabled client, you won't get any accurate data. -

(Before Morpheus 1.8.2.0 was released) 75 % of the hosts I saw were LimeWire nodes.

I find th number of CNET/SourceForge downloads a far better indicator for the popularity of a client.

Number of Downloads per week:
Morpheus: 420,973 (52%)
LimeWire (including clones): 169,576 (21%)
BearShare: 139,744 (17%)
Xolox: 34,923 (4%)
QtraxMax: 18,788 (2%)
Gnucleus: 18,220 (2%)
SwapNut: 2,597 (0%)
Swapper: 1,597 (0%)
MyNapster: 1,549 (0%)

They are wrong because you can put out a new version every day and then everyone will download it and thus your numbers will go up even though your new version was only a small bug fix.
So this would be a good indication of programmers that suck and have to keep releasing new versions all the time.
There are other ways to increase the download numbers if you are keeping score to try to "win" the downloads contest.

Maybe, - but none of the clients in this list does so. So those number are not wrong at all. They may not be 100% accurate but they are accurate enough to deduce the popularity of the clients.
