ultrapeer vs peer

Thanks for that. Great description of an ultrapeer.

However what is a peer? Just a plain "peer". The LW Connection screen shows:

0 Ultrapeers 23 Peers 0 Leaves

So what is a peer in that context, and how did I get to be one instead of an Ultrapeer? Or didn't I read that article well enough?

Thanks again
