Becoming an Ultrapeer/supernode
 
I have a high-bandwidth, long-uptime system I'd like to become an ultrapeer. This system would only be acting as a peer node, not doing searches, so the normal metrics (measured upload/download) won't trip.

Short of hacking the client, is there a convenient way to FORCE a node to become an ultrapeer?

Thanks.

You can not force Limewire to make you and Ultrapeer, and imho there is no advantage in being one. I do not have a very fast connection, and it is not on as much as some peoples' is, and yet I am usually connected as an ultrapeer. So how Limewire chooses ... I don't know ... but the fact that I have been a user for nearly a year, and am possibly known by the network somehow as a trustworthy host may have a bearing on the selection process ... or whatever it is that detemines these things.

I'm curious as to why you wish to be an ultrapeer that does not do searches,
