Default how files are updated

Technically ultrapeers don't have a list of your files; they have funky routing tables constructed by hashing keywords of the file names.

But to answer your question: LimeWire will send incremental updates to ultrapeers every five minutes. So those files will be searchable by the world. In the future, we hope to get rid of that five minute delay.
