I don't think this bodes well. I've found that a cannot let Limewire run 24/7 (it uses too much in resources). Which mean periodically I need to shut it down before a download is completed. What you are telling me is that the likelyhood of me successfully completing the download will now go down. I've also found that serving as an ultrapeer gives me poorer search results and than when I am a leaf. Limewire also uses up so much bandwith and resources as an ultrapeer that I can hardly search the net. (Im using a 1.8GHZ P4M with 1GB of memory) So even though I have been willing to be a ultrapeer to benefit the network in the past I wont now because I see no advantage to it. Also I am a Pro-Beta user.
