From what I've been able to get from MC and Joanie, the reason for the search limit was the " problem with extended searchs". Seems some ISP's were banning P2P applications because of the traffic their searchs put out. Your computer contacted 3 computer which each contacted 3 computers and so on. Seems they didn't have any way to tell the net you've already had the file and to stop searching.
So rather than find a way to chase down the requests and stop them without just adding another whole batch of traffic, they just limited the number.
1.3 hasn't been very nice to my computer. It's better than the "beta" they tried just before the offical release date, but it still causes problems.
Till they come up with something that I can keep running for more than 2 hours I'm going back to WinMx.
