You say you cannot force normal mode, only Ultrapeer. Well, when I made the two changes to my Limewire.props file that had been suggested, I still seemed to be in Leaf mode (as you're now saying) because I only had one connection. The only difference was a cosmetic one -- my own host was labeled "Client" instead of "Leaf" (this being the label at the bottom left of the Connections screen).

When will v2.03 come out?
