merci et voilà--the that's the set-up I've now been using (MacTFTP was easy; wading through the windows jargon to get there was not!), and have been running as an UP most of the last 24 hours. Still a few problems lurking, but 2.9.11 is a major success re UP connections as far as I can see.

I still haven't seen a steady 58-64 hosts though: with 2.9.11 I'm noticing ~40 this AM (IP forced), ~34 this PM (IP unforced). Running with UP's in the 30's only uses about 10-20% of my CPU, so is quite civilized. Some hosts have been connected for >3hrs.

I wonder if the UP parameters changed with this last release, or whether the number of ultrapeer connects to other ultrapeers depends on network demands.

(did see some impossible connection rates in stats once that knocked out my internet services)

(btw I'm mapping a separate port to each computer for LW. How do you get multiple clients to connect without conflict?)
