Unregistered: in practice, you can't really raise your TTL about 7 since other clients will "normalize" high TTLs.

TruStarWarrior: glad you like the GUI changes. The detailed reason for the "?" is that ultrapeers only pass unique pongs from other ultrapeers to leaf nodes. (Ultrapeers even pass pongs that wouldn't normally be routed to the leaf.) So the old leaf "horizon" was actually the number of unique pongs seen in the last N minutes--generally quite small, and never very useful!

anti-bearshare: the Linux/FreeBSD version is at http://www9.limewire.com/beta/2.0.2/...eWireLinux.tgz. Think we'd forget you?

As for the updating the "latest source" link on www.limewire.org: because we haven't automated that, we usually only update that after major releases. Besides, 2.0.5 may actually never make it into production, since we're nearly finished with a newer version that seems to solve the horizon problem instantly!
