Hi BeerBottleBill

This is a normal function of LimeWire. LimeWire automaticaly detects your connection if I am not mistaken. If you have a fast enough connection it will automaticaly switch you to an UltraPeer if it detects it is needed by the "G" network.

The longer you leave LimeWire running the better chance you have of being switched to an Ultrapeer.

I normally run as a UP, but if I close LW for more than 15 - 30 minutes, when it restarts it is in Leaf connection status. It normally takes appx. 6 hours before it will switch over to UP.

Hope this helped answer your question.
