A beta version of LimeWire 2.1.0 is now available and should dramatically increase the number of search results for leaf nodes. More information at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...&threadid=7022

Again, what do us Pro users do? I refuse to install AssWare ... err ... I mean "AD"ware... on my machine.

uhhh if you're talking about the beta releases, well thats why its called beta. Its not a public release, they're "testing" things if you will--to find the bugs and other things to make the public release better and etc. Then if you're talking about 2.0.4 for the free versions, that release is without the trojan crap everyone was complaining about. I dont think it had any fixes or updates. Chris said they're working on 2.0.6 and 2.1.0 at the moment. So just be patient, I mean damn c'mon now. :P

Tru, what kind of connection do you have? You could host your own site with apache. There is an Apache for Win32. check out it at http://www.apache.org

I only have a 65k modem connection. I would be hosting if I had a Cable or DSL connection! :-(
Thanks for the pointer, though!

Wheres its today's date at 10:23 PM my time.



I have another one where I was connected to ~27 trillion files, 6222 hosts, and ~64TB of data.

I don't understand all this stuff. I am not clear the difference between a peer and an ultra peer. My connection seems to hover around 200 hosts most of the time, sometimes it's as low as 40. My peak is 1500 but that only happened once. How do you get connected to so many?

If you are not an ultra peer are you limited to 3 connections in your connections tab? I set the number of connections to maintain to 6, 10 whatever but it's always just three. Today suddenly I see 6 I don't know why. It's not that I became an ultra peer I know because I tried turning on the monitor and it still says i'm a leaf node shielded by an ultra peer?


Also what's the difference between protocol .6 and ultrapeer? Which is newer? I do see taht with the .6 I can see the number of hosts in the hosts column but with ultrapeer it's always "?"

As a normal peer, your connection count only shows the Ultrapeers in your horizon. If you are an Ultrapeer your connection count shows all peers in your horizon. That happens because pingreplies (used to count hosts) of simple peers aren't forwarded to you if you are just a simple peer. - Search result from simple peers, will be forwarded to you. The statistics window just isn't accurate and leads to misinterpretations.

10 exceeds the hardcoded limit (of 6) for your connections speed (CABLE/DSL I assume). So it is normalized. You probably don't receive more results if you did set it to 10 anyway.

That might happen, if there are few Ultrapeers to connect to. In that case LimeWire will connect to any host. And the limit of 3 is not necessarily imposed.

If the connection says 0.6, it doesn't shield you from queries, pings, etc. Ultrapeers will monitor which queries you don't answer and won't send a query you didn't answer to you two times. In Addition they don't forward ping replies (aka pongs) of normal hosts to you. That reduces the traffic, you need for a connection. (Not to mention, that you don't have to forward queries from Ultrapeers.)

THanks again.

SO the hard coded limit for cable/dsl is 6 connections but only 3 if they are ultrapeer connections?
