I will check into the ports. I doubt the 'enough ultrapeers' is the case, though. There were usually 40 or so 'Peers' when I was an UltraPeer ... now there are 5 stable, and 2 or 3 more in and out.

However, check the options -> bug reports to see if it still says "Accept incoming =True." Your LW really needs to be able to accept incoming connection attempts to operate as an Ultrapeer.

If it says false, then the incoming port is blocked (router? firewall?).

(btw--you don't need to quit and restart for most of the changes to work: just using disconnect and connect should be enough to reset connections).
