1 Hour, Disconnect,then Ultrapeer-ouch !!
 

:yikes:
Just noticed today, that after about an hour or so, suddenly LWire disconnected all downloads and uploads, and reconnected as an ultrapeer ! most annoying as I lost my download connection( Been waiting for that file for ages!!)
Running 4.12.10 pro, is this a new thing? I know that when left alone for long periods LWire used to switch to ''Exit after transfers'' mode,but I was actively using it ! and it switched to ultrapeer mode, is this normal? flipping annoying, does it mean , left alone LWire will never complete downloads overnight?
Very puzzled, as this has never happened before, is it a function of 4.12.10??
Newbee2 ?????

Don't panic:laugh_2: It just means that you have a fast connection & aren't firewalled...the network needed more UPs & it chose you! The process is automatic. It's not a new thing. Sometimes mine loses connection for a sec when switching to UP & sometimes not. You should be able to resume that download from your incompletes.

If you don't want to connect as an UP tools > options > speed. Tick 'disable UP capabilities' & apply. Now you'll stay a leaf.

Thanks birdy,
Blood pressure returning to normal,I was suprised, nay, flabberghasted !
as I was actively using it,presumably this is why on checking in the morning,often downloads which were doing well when you retire, have not completed(As well as hosts going offline etc..)
Thanks for reply,I'll try not to panic in the future !! I do also wonder why ,when as an ultrapeer my download speed is so low? sorry perehaps a question for somewhere else?
