What can i do to be and ultrapeer?

[snayit]

If i have a powerfull computer (CPU and memory, internet connection etc.) and i want my FrostWire client to be an UP? is there someplace in the preferences i can define that?

What is the way to run my FrostWire as an UP?

The network will decide at any given moment whether it needs more UP's. It's not a user controlled issue. But to promote your chances, you should have a reasonably fast connection, free bandwidth for both uploads & downlds. You'll also need to ensure that Disable UP capabilities is not checked under Speed options. Oh ... & you need to make sure you're not firewalled. Incoming must be true. See this test: Bug Report instructions & sample image Is the result True/False?

period or i can be an UP when i first run my client? i thought that the difference will be in the tags i send in the handshake but i see that even if i don't check disable UP capabilities and i allow incoming and i'm not behind a firewall (and on a strong computer) - still i'm just a simple leaf.
Isn't there another way i can tell the GNet that i'm willing to be an UP if they need me to?

I've never been a UP, my bandwidth is not large enough. It sounds to me as though there are enough UP's already in your area to cope with demand. However, should there come a time more UP's are required, then you'll become one. I'm not sure how long after opening LW you can become a UP. Someone else may be able to answer that. From what I've heard, the time it takes can vary.

[et voilà]

Since 4.9.30, FW cannot become UP at startup. To become UP you need a high average uptime and a network in need for UPs For the bandwidth needs, it is ridiculous, like 8KB up and down... (an UP only consumes avergae 4 KB/s up and down)
