Greetings Cougar,

I believe you are running as an Ultrapeer, the same as I am presently running. My connection status Ultrapeer with 32 Peers
and 30 Leaves.

I don't always get this good of a connection, sometimes I connect as a Leaf with 5 Ultrapeers. Minimum connection status running LW Pro as LotR stated versus 3 for basic.

From my understanding LW will automatically detect what the G network needs at the time I connect, and will configure my connection status accordingly. It will also automatically upgrade my connection status to Ultrapeer if the G network needs it.

What basically happens from my understanding is as the G network is constantly (users connecting and disconnecting) changing. It will automatically detect if slower speed users need a little extra boost using my bandwith, provided I have Ultrapeer capabilities enabled. This helps out the G network and other users as some are not as fortunate as we are to have a broadband connection. They only have dialup and cannot upgrade.

BTW. My speed connection is T-1 (1.5 MB/s) on DSL with no u/l speed restrictions like ADSL. I have also connected as T-3, but don't get as my u/l, so I stay at T-1. Spammers have given T-3 connections a bad rap overall.
