recently, everytime i open limewire, its slow as hell and i cant download anything faster than 1kbps. why did limewire assign me as a leaf node client or something like that, how do i change it back to ultrapeer?

btw, i already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, that didnt work

Hmmm didn't provide much information and my crystal ball stopped working.

But as a thought check your firewall settings.

If that doesn't help check out this link and post back. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/announ...php?forumid=23

Also switching between leaf and Ultrapeer is an automatic function of LimeWire. It determines if you have the capability to be one and if the Gnutella network needs you as one.
