Default What's up with "you will see few or no searches because your client is a leaf node.."

I see searches go by almost faster than I can read them even though it says i'm not an ultrapeer and i have that disabled (my upstream SUCKS) and there are only 150 hosts on hte network under statistics right now... Is something messed up?

Default you will see few or no searches because your client is a leaf node..

I get that same problem with the leaf node even though I disabled the leaf node. However, unlike sipher I actually do see few searches..... not that i really want to see the searches. Annoying perverts.... Anyways in addition to not seeing searches it also seems I'm unable to share my files too. Is that caused by leaf node also?

You cannot disable leaf node mode in the options, all you did was disable ultrapeer mode, which means you can never become an ultrapeer.

As for your files. I noticed some files don't seem to be asked for much, so if you are sharing files nobody wants, nobody will download from you.

Er... the files I'm sharing are pretty basic popular MP3s. That said, I'd understand if few people tried downloading them, but absolutely no one ever even querying them sounds odd. I did a test out of curiosity. I switched to sharing one file and gave it a silly name. I then restarted limewire, waited a few minutes, and searched under the silly name i used. I got 0 results. Its no big deal... better to not be able to upload then download. But what would cause it?
