Not if you're using BearShare.  I find it highly effective, especially
with files that have multiple sources. Even when a file has only one
source, if that source responds to hash searches I can often get a
stalled download going again.

As far as I know, LimeWire doesn't _block_ hash searches from passing
through, but simply does not respond with hits.

I hope LimeWire will eventually get over the hurdles they must pass in
order to work with hash searches.  I realize that upgrading query
routing to meet the needed performance level may be more difficult in
Java but sooner or later it will have bubble to the top of their deep
todo list.  ;]
