I don't know about the webshots, but my connection problems were eased by sharing >100 non-spam files, forcing the IP, setting the OSX firewall to allow gnutella, using narrow searches and BLOCKING IP's that spread spam. For now I've had to check "disable Ultrapeer" in the prefs. On my G3, LW cannot run reliably as an Ultrapeer.

I gather the newer clients are quicker to drop freeloaders or clients whose searches are too broad. As you know, the network has been hurt by clients who flood the network with queries or spam responses.

So, looks to me like cleaning out the shared folder and searching more responsibly has helped keep me connected.

Happy Easter
