10 Hosts & Thats It.....why ?
 

Hi guys can anyone please EXPLAIN to me why I only ever connect to 10 Hosts,
ever since I start using LimeWire a few year back I've never been able to connect to more than 10 Hosts,?
is this right ?
Does this happen to us all ?:bangh:

The numbers of hosts that you can connect to (depending on speed - the max is 14 hosts for a Pro user with a T3 connection) has been set so that everyone (regardless of their connection speed) can use the network successfully...otherwise there could be heaps of network congestion & endless queueing for files.

Same as Birdy, but a little more detail: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...8-sources.html
(ie: 8 hosts per file for Basic LW, 10 for Pro, more each for T3.)
