Fine. Ultrapeer. Whatever. In the meantime you have rendered the program essentially useless ... not that it was terribly useful on the Mac to begin with. (On that note, what is a Mac user to do in order to get a good peer-to-peer client? Is there absolutely NOTHING out there? That hurts.)

For the next several versions of Limewire, keep the ultrapeer thing up and running BUT don't cause all other connections to be dropped. I understand you are trying to seed ultrapeer slowly but surely. But no one is going to run this software if it is totally useless. I'm going to shut the piece of **** down now and go back to a previous version that at least returns some hits -- even if those hits are often unintelligible and irrelevant.

And as you get ultrapeer up and running, refine search criteria as you have started to do in Mac version 2.0.2.

I appreciate your efforts and thank you, but it sure is frustrating to have my only possible peer-to-peer client go from bad to worse.
