I noticed that (over the last few weeks) the number of peers using mldonkey/mlnet (especially version 3.0.0) connected to my client significantly increased, sometimes even accounting for 40% (the remaining ones are usually emules).

has anybody else also noticed such an increase ?
if yes, what may be the reason ? more linux systems ?
or does mldonkey attract other mldonkeys ?

Even though on XP, I've been able to notice unusual MLDonkey surges in a few files' queues in the past

Thought at the time that someone used a computer cluster, while enjoying temporarily a campus internet or any other kind of heavy duty connection.

Never lasted long though (my DL rates regret it to this day...)

It could also be possible that without attracting other MLDonkeys, they could share a somewhat lesser rate of time-outs among siblings...

Hm, don't know about the cluster, since the mldonkeys were spread across europe. today there are nearly no mldonkeys.

or, another tought: maybe mldonkey is the client of choice on MacOS ?

Yes, that too
