Hi

I have always used pro edition but can never get more then 5 ultrapeer's, is there a way to increase this within a windows installation. Or am I on the wrong subject!!

Many Thanks

You won't be able to connect to more than 5 Ultrapeers. That's the max. AFAIK.

To connect to more than 5 UltraPeers you will need to become an Ultrapeer yourself. To do this you need a fast connection and be able to recieve incoming (meaning no brickwall). I don't think it works using UPnP. You will need to use portforwarding in your router/modem and allow exceptions in your software firewall and maybe your router/modem as well. Your Modem/Router will also have to have the ability to deal with many connections at the same time and you'll have to run This Patch to get more halfopen connections (if using Windows XP with Service Pack 2)

I think the max is 32 Peers and 32 Leafs when running as an UltraPeer

(most I had is 26 and 31)

Or run LW and FW for a total of 8. But I'm not sure if there's any real advantage to doing this and it no doubt puts strain on the network.

It is actually not recommended to run 2 clients at the same time (maybe in the future with twin core CPU) since they will compete with each other for the half open connections and the available download speed. And what longterm effect it could have for the Java both use at the same time isn't clear either.
