@ trap_jaw. Interesting about the leaf/ultrapeer horizon. . . and a little unsettling. I've been telling others that LW tries to give both UP's and leafs equivalent search and download effetiveness. I hope it's just temporary for this beta. If not, would you mind looking over http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=39641

thanks for the tip. I rely on running as an UP to maintain my 1 GB daily ration of an up/down share ratio at 1:1, but also prefer hunting down rare files from very casual users. I guess I'll have to come up with a different strategy, if leaves are to be better at searching for rare content.

btw---running as a leaf only got more spam for the 4 unique search terms, but that's not surprising. What was surprising was that initial checks of the memory, threads, and CPU% showed little difference. If that continues, the optimizations for Ultrapeers are REALLY amazing!

And to Sam & LOTR, thanks for clarifying the bug sending.
