It *did* come out! It's LimeWire Pro 2.02 and costs $6. Go to the company's web-site, http://www.limewire.com |
Ultrapeer Is there something good about Ultrapeer which I don't know about? I was an Ultrapeer as soon as I logged on, and I can't get rid of it, I only ever have one host connected and my uploads are non existant, I have an adsl line, not sure if that is too slow for ultrapeer or whatever. Basically even when I disable ultrapeer it doesn't go away!! Someone tell me why I am not getting lots of nice connections please. Chris |
Chris, I think you're setup is ok but that you're experiencing some of the early bugs in the new Ultrapeer system. Questions: 1. Which version of Limewire are you running? The latest version is 2.02 (i.e., no longer a beta version!). 2. Can you see your Connections screen? If not, click on the View pull-down menu and enable it. 3. In the Connections screen, what number is plugged-in to "Keep approx. __ connections up"? 4. In the Connections screen, along the bottom and to the left of the text "Keep approximately...", what mode does it say you're in, e.g. [Client], [Leaf], or [Ultrapeer]? 5. In the Tools / Options / Speed settings, is the checkbox unchecked for "Disable Ultrapeer"? Now let me repeat back what I am understanding from you (from your post): - in the Connections screen, you see only one connection and it is labeled "Ultrapeer" - you're getting fewer search results and upload requests than you're accustomed to So, I think what's happening is that you're in Leaf mode (meaning you're "slaved" to another machine running in Ultrapeer mode) and that the Ultrapeer isn't doing a good job. This has been my impression of Ultrapeer so far. The only 'solution' is to avoid Leaf mode or to become an Ultrapeer yourself. Solution: - in Tools / Options / Speed, try clicking on the checkbox for "Disable Ultrapeer" - shutdown Limewire and restart - you should reconnect to the network and get as many connections as you've requested, eg. 4 Hosts (though I think this might be another bug; it may still act like you're a Leaf and limit you to one host) Long-term, ie. once Ultrapeer is fixed, it's sort of a toss-up whether or not you want to operate in traditional servent-mode, in Leaf-mode, or in Ultrapeer-mode. Since you're on an ADSL line, you probably want Leaf mode though you could also do traditional mode; Ultrapeer requires more upstream bandwidth than your ADSL provides. |
Thanks...but.... Sd, I am in Client mode, and now I know I wasn#t an Ultrapeer. Um, what is the difference between Leaf and Client mode? I am keeping up 6 connections and I am running version 2.02, not the beta version. Yes I can see the connections screen and I have not disabled ultrapeer. Because I am in client mode (Which I don't know why it is different to Leaf mode) I guess I might be connected to an Ultrapeer who wasn#t doing a good job. Today I was connected to four Ultrapeers at once, how does that happen? I got good search results today anyway so I suppose it doesn#t really matter too much. Thanks anyway. Chris |
