Unhappy I don't like Ultrapeer

I don't think that ultrapeer is such a great idea. OK it allows a connection for users with very low bandwith but it damages the gnutella-network.

Ultrapeers have a lot of connections and send a lot of data. If you connect to an ultrapeer with an other client than limewire your connection gets flooded. I have very often connections to other clients that send more than 7KB/s! The only thing I can do is to kick these clients.
It seems to me that limewire tries to take over the gnutella network with this function. You have the choice to use limewire or get flooded. Not very nice.
It would be good if you could switch between the ultrapeer-connection-mode and the normal gnutella behaviour. (Yes you can force limewire to be an ultrapeer what makes it nearly act like normal but it then needs al least six connections and my internet connection can't handle this very good.)
