Hmmm. My first thought was "There are lots of emules out there, and probably 
only 15-35% of them have your vacation videos".
My second thought was "Ok, but neither do you have all of their vacation 
videos".

My conclusion is: These statistics are irrelevant if we don't know about the 
files you've shared and about those you wanted to download. For example, if 
you had that double zero video on your disk and searched for Beethoven's 7th 
interpreted by the Zurich Symphony Orchestra in 1968, your statistics made a 
complete different sense.

Someone should invent a file spreading rating system :)
