Default What is the difference between "peer" and "ultrapeer"?

I am running a limewire 4.14 variant on linux. (Variant because i have tweaked some of the source and re-compiled. Tweaked the GUI and forced ultrapeer mode)

I can successfully connect but it seems to come up in two different modes:

A - 0 ultrapeers 23 peers 0 leaves
B - 32 ultrapeers 0 peers 0 leaves

What is the difference between peers and ultrapeers?

I have LW Pro on the same machine. When if I start my 4.14 variant *after* LW Pro I get option B above. If I restart 4.14 variant (eg; 4.14 after 4.14) I get option A. I presume this is to do with limewire.props.

What decides peer versus ultrapeer? Thanks
