Well ignoring the previous messages saying it doesn't matter...

to be a "proper" ultrapeer. you would DEFINETLY need more then just a ADSL connection. A SDSL 700ish at a min, RADSL would then get within the "good" range. A t1,t3+ would be good also. What matters even more though is your operating system's ability to handle tcp/ip connection.

The knocks out ALL versions of windows out of the box period. They don't use *real* tcp/ip, just an tcp/ip *compatible* protocol thats from M$. So that leaves (realisticly) a mac (which DOES have real tcp/ip handling, both 8-9 and 10(X) and some form of *nix.

Allthought its automatically determined, so it doesn't really matter does it? ;p
