Is there anyway to limit the number of connections to my computer? After connected a long time, what usually happens is that too many people are connected to me (almost 20) and then my computer gets bogged down. I only know of the field for minimum connections to keep up. I am using the regular distrubtion of gnutella v0.56. thanks

Not using Gnutella 0.56. Newer clients let you do that.

That's what I also found out: You cannot use gnutella 0.56 anymore (especially if you share a lot of files with a good connection).

Use GNOTELLA, this lets you limit a lot more (max ups, max incoming, max outgoing), lets you also sort hosts by # of files and much more!
