no "connection" tab in 2.02, only search, monitor, and library
 

I just downloaded the new program and there is no connection tab in the program. I d/l and reinstalled twice but no help. There are only "search", "monitor", and "library" tabs. What is up with this?
Thx,
Brad

Under the "view" menu you can activate the tabs you wish, "connections" included which is disabled by default.

Thanks Carlo! I looked for about an hour trying to figure that out. I have no idea how I missed it.

One more question if you have time. I am comparing 2.0.2 to version 1.7 that I used for a few months. In the new version, again on the connection screen, I have none of the options to "use auto connect hosts" or to search for new servers. Now all I have is the listing of the server that is connected. I only can get one connection even though I have the max allowed setting to 5. Do you know what is up with this?
Thanks,
Brad

Glad to help Brad,
so another feature of 2.0.2 is the "ultrapeer" system: your client searches for one of these (as you can see under the protocol line in connection tabs) and drops all the other connection. Done this you have become a "leaf", which grants you more bandwidth because the ultrapeer filters out most of the messages (that is why you recieve less incoming searches...). On the other hand, a lot of users (like me) have experienced poor results when being a leaf, but I am confident that with next versions there could be some possible solutions.

Thanks again Carlo,
You are a brilliant man!
Aloha,

Thanks, but I do not deserve this... ;)
