who are those people in the connections window?
 
I clicked view and went to connections. Who are those people in the connections folder?

If there are 3(LW basic) or 5(LW Pro) then they are the ultrapeers you're connected to... they handle lots of connections so that you can search & download within LW;)

If there are about 60, they are the peers & leafs that you're connected to when you're running as an ultrapeer & are handling lots of connections from other users!

Why only outbound connections?
 
I have high speed (cable) and sometimes there are over 20 connections but most of the time only 5. All outbound. Is this a good thing???

That means you're acting as an ultrapeer. Ultrapeers are necessary for the network by helping other people connect to the network. They are a very important component of the gnutella network. Only people with good connections, well configured, bandwidth & slots available are able to become ultrapeers. You can't choose to be an ultrapeer, the network decides for you. It's a good thing! ;) :)
