Thank you. I'm honored to hear from a Software Developer who probably knows the insides of Limewire well.
I suppose I wont bug my ISP then. I am still surprised that for the first time in many months, it chose to do me as a leaf. Usually, I might connect as a leaf after a computer crash, but then once I'm turbocharged... disconnect and reconnect, and it always puts me back to ultrapeer. But not this time. So its unusual and weird to me.
This reason I even care about this, is because my search results are HORRIBLE today. Usually i have great results, but its clearly stripped down to a minimum as a leaf. My DS3 has plenty of bandwidth, so I'm hoping its not my ISP that is making the network decide that im not the best choice for ultrapeer anymore.
If there any other educated thoughts by anyone... im interested to hear you. Thanks.
