Okay - I got 2.02 to work. Edit your limewire.props file with notepad changing these two lines to what is shown below:

EVER_SUPERNODE_CAPABLE=true
FORCE_SUPERNODE_MODE=true

This should promote you to Ultrapeer status (I am currently showing 7 hosts) in short order and your searches and downloads should work like they did before. Actually they seem faster. Have not observed in upload traffic yet.

BTW, I am pulling the v1.7 link above as it should not be needed.

Happy Holidays!
