Im not sure that you understand completly. Therefore dont be insulted if I draw you a picture. Most people who pay $18.88 for the pro version dont dont know how to look at the source code and apply it to theyre own benifit. Thats why they pay the $$ for the program! Think about it. It makes good sense.... I dont need to go to the developers page to ask if the ultrapeer limit is capped. I know for a fact that in one way or another it is. The older pro versions had at one point or another 8 concurrent ultrapeers going on at the same time. Thats a 60% drop from the next release limeware released, and still today its a 60% drop.
I dont write/read source code, nor am not a developer in this instance. Im a webmaster so it would do me no good to circumvent something I dont understand. Same is true for the the people who pay for the program: Why am I paying for a program that is capped as far as ultrapeers are concerned when there are more resources out there? Id much rather give up some of the features of limewire to be able to hit more sources/ultrapeers.
When looking at the compairison at both the basic and pro it intrests me that while I was using the basic version I could connect to more sources. WOW! pull out my credit card and purchase. The basic version consisted of 3 ultra peers. When I purchased the pro, I had a total of 5. so two additional ultrapeers. not what I expected...
Something else that I cought my eye was the speed issue. It stated that you will get "Turbo-Charged" speeds with the pro version. Most people know that the speed is only as good as downloaders download speed and the uploaders upload speed. It even says that in the FAQ's and I quote:
Quote:
Q: Why do some things take so long to download?
A: The speed at which a download takes place is limited by both the bandwidth of the downloader and by the bandwidth of the uploader. A document cannot by transferred faster than the uploader is capable of sending it, nor can it be transferred faster than the downloader is capable of receiving it. If you have a T1 Internet connection and you are trying to download a file from a person with a 56K modem, your transfer is going to take place rather slowly. Furthermore, some clients limit the speed at which they will upload files for the sake of saving bandwidth.

Limewire has contradicted themselves here.
I didnt ask for rare instances I asked for why you didnt answer the concerning question that all pro users face and more importantly want to know. If I or anyone else knew I wouldnt we wouldnt ask, or we wouldnt reftify the answer doing research of something we know nothing about. If you do not know, just say it. Ill still be your friend. If you do know, modify the source code make a exe out of it and share it here.
