I get this message- You have a leaf node protecte4d by an ultrapeer-thus you won't see any down.loads i n your search or monitor--What the heck does this mean ????

If you are operating as an Ultrapeer then you will see all that passes thru. However, as a Leaf you will only see what the UP has not filtered out.

Those are incoming searches by the way. Searches that apply to your files in some way.
