![]() Leafs only need access to only one ultrapeer. The extra Ultrapeers are just to help your gnutella searches get out further. So, if you don't search for a while, the extra UP's are freed up, saving you resources and bandwidth. As soon as you get active again, the other UP's are called to make the extra connections to the gnutella network. This used to be called "sleeping," but I think the term recently changed. Search for "sleep" on these forums to see the other posts. "Sleep" mode (or whatever it is now called) should have no effect on downloads and uploads, since they use regular http transfers. As for uploads--that does sound a bit odd, but not unusual. I've seen that happen too. I've found it's mostly coincidence, but the averages in the download statistics tend to a better indication over time. New material gets gobbled up fast, then quickly tapers off. Bearshare clients are really quick to grab new material recently, or so it seems. As for the "speed"--the formula used to give some indication of "connection quality" might not take "waking up" into account properly yet. |

![]() Quite generous--looks like many folks will be glad of the easter buny ![]() btw, you might want to really keep an eye on the bandwidth stats. Sharing that many files, especially if popular, might run into an ISP capping/throttling limits, for broadband at least. |

My ISP has a cap limit (2GB per day) and they tend to enforce it quite strongly. I'm now running as an ultrapeer and would be happy to leave my computer running to help the network, but I also don't want to antagonise my ISP... Robbie |

![]() Hi Robbie Don't bother with the advanced stats, though they can be very interesting trying to figure out ![]() Your ISP probably has an "Account Usage" page which is really the best way to see daily totals |

I checked my ISP's (NTL in the UK) home page, seems to be no "account usage" feature... I didn't notice the bandwidth Upstream and Downstream totals! I've just restarted LimeWire about after just a period of about 5 minutes I have these figures from those stats: TOTAL DOWNSTREAM: 630.5 (and increasing fast) TOTAL UPSTREAM: 2,801 (again increasing fast) Currently am connected as Ultrapeer status to 26 peers and O leaves, i expect that to increase as time passes with more leaf connections... What are the measurements in? bites or kilobytes? Or are am I completely wide of the mark? Robbie |
