OK thanks again for the help.

I think I will have to give up on trying to understand this.

I get what an ultrapeer is and how it works. I get what a leaf is and how it works. I don't get what a peer is. Why does the LW connection screen show THREE types of connection: ultrapeer, peer and leaf? Why a peer, not an ultrapeer, not a leaf but a peer?

Guess I am too stupid to work it out, so will have to accept it!
