1) why does a Phex UP does not cconnect to 32 UP and 30 leaves by default? 16 UP and 15 leaves is not like the rest of the network topology.
Connecting to 32 UP and 31 leaves is the Phex default setting on a new installation of Phex 2.2. You might have an older installation where this number was lower. The reason the numbers were lower is because Phex has a lower minimum bandwidth limit for UP election.

To update your settings to the default you can remove the following entries from your phex.cfg:
up2upConnections
up2leafConnections
up2peerConnections
leaf2upConnections
leaf2peerConnections

2) when in UP mode I get my 32 (my setting) UP peers easily, but in 30 minutees I have not get one leave? Do Phex pongs for leaves?
Phex advertises itself as Ultrapeer in handshakes, Pongs and GWebCaches.
Phex is not activly searching for Leafs, Leafs are responsible to connect to UPs by themself.
You could have a low number of leafs because no incoming connections can reach you (firewall), vendor preference of leafs, or some kind of bug I'm not aware of yet ;-)
