I did notice the same a few days ago. I think the two most possible 
explanations are:

a) Stats are broken

b) A modified MLDonkey for queue-jumping

As MLDonkey has no real upload queue queue-jumping can easily achieved
by generating a new MD4 sum for each connection. MLDonkey then thinks 
this is a new client and you get that huge percentage of MLDonkeys.

- generate new client MD4
- poll MLDonkey client
- wait 2s
- generate new client MD4
- poll MLDonkey client
- wait 2s
and so on until you get an upload queue.

I don't think that can be changed unless MLDonkey gets an upload queue 
or client identification is tied to MD4 AND IP.
