Wondering, this is in regards to being an ultrapeer; I've noticed downloads slow to almost a snail's pace when I'm an ultrapeer. It's great to have so many leaves, hosts and peers but if some specific connections slow download time is it really so great? It could be, and probably is that certain host addresses should be filtered out because they aren't as good as others. For example, if the I/O column registers in thousands logic suggests these are faster hosts as opposed to hundreds and doubles registers. Just curious, what's the highest and best number for maximum downloads? Currently, I've set mine at 125, but I also have set it to 150 and 175.

A good Ultrapeer is doing more or less nothing except being a good Ultrapeer...

The system is very much dependent on Ultrapeers NOT actually participating in sharing !

That may seem more than a bit contrary to many people but, it's the way it really is !

Any bandwidth that an Ultrapeer uses for personal sharing activity diminishes the total available bandwidth for Ultrapeer processes and responsibilities.

For me... When I see an host as Ultrapeer sharing anything more than about 1-200 MB, I blow 'em out.
I want high performance Ultrapeers !!!

Now the arguing can start.......................

Magic25...I disabled my Ultrapeer capabilities as it drains my computer to much, I found that surfing the net or even loading pages on the forum took to long...

If you find it is draining your system to much disable it...

Tools > Options > Performance and tick the box that says Disable Ultrapeer Capabilities and select apply....
