As I don't get any spam in my searches (a filter called "music" with
only a size and a name requirement) I don't ever see any spam in my
search results, so I haven't really seen that problem. In my case the
count works well as a quality indicator. I realize that might not be
the case for everyone.
As for the usability issue, I have to click the column header for every
search, every time I add a new search, and every time I re-start
gtk-gnutella. So it's not a one-off operation as you seem to suggest.

Subject: Bug#327194: gtk-gnutella: Default sort order should be highest
# hits on top
there's no default sorting at all. The results are implicitely
arranged in the order they arrive and grouped by checksum. I
don't think sorting by number of sources by default is really a
good idea because in many cases these results are actually spam.
This counter shouldn't be confused with a quality indicator or
the probability for a successful download. It is what it is, a
counter of the number of results matching a certain checksum.
Sorting by this counter as a default might also increase the
likelyness that "less experienced" users tend to download the spam
results as they would appear on top of all others.
Changing the sort order takes only a single click, so it's no
usability issue either.
