Connections Tab
 
Hey there---I was just wondering exactly what the connections tab shows? Thanks guys! I was just wondering, because I was only DL one song and it had 4 listings in the connections tab. Any ideas?

Thanks

You were seeing the ultrapeers that you're connected to, to help you search & shield you from unnecessary traffic:)
You'll always see 4 ultrapeers when you're connecting as a leaf.

Ultrapeers? Leaf? Aghhhhh.. I'm so confused..

Ultrapeers are people with a fast connection & whose FWs aren't firewalled. You connect to them & they in turn connect to other UPs & leafs...that's how your searches work.
Ultrapeers will handle most of the search traffic & shield leafs (people with a slower connection or who might be firewalled) from unnecessary traffic...so a leaf only sees searches that relate to the files they're sharing.

If you want to know more about this, use the forum search to look for ultrapeer. Otherwise, you don't have to worry about it;)

Ok thanks man, do you have Frostwire? and have you ever had any problems with it?

birdy March 21st, 2007 02:57 PM

I've got FW & haven't had probs with it (haven't tried the latest version, though).

Okay thanks man. You've been a big help :)
