i can connect to my LimeWire client, but it seems to Really want to be an ultrapeer and always gives me a 503/shielded leaf node message. but it redirects me to other clients, many of which are LimeWire, and i have successfully connected to a few of those. is possible that my connection problems are due to a dearth of other servants with available connections? (this is my question)

but both my LimeWire and BearShare clients seem to have no trouble connecting at all. i still haven't been able to connect to my own BearShare client. it sends me a 200 OK, that bad packet and then drops me every time. like, immediately. what's up with that?
