I am currently on a Compaq/HP Proliant ML370 G2 (altered to work as a PC) server
P3 1.266 GHz
1536 MB RAM
4 RAID discs (total 200+ GB)
Cable modem at 700/250
Limewire 4.12.6 Basic

I am considering upgrading my connection to 1500/400 to help with my download time, but at the same time I wonder if it would do any good to enable Ultrapeer? I am not even quite sure of what this is, so an explanation on what it is besides "helping those with slow connections getting a better experience searching and downloading". How does it actually work?

Sidenote: When looking at my downloads in the Search window, it quite often drops to 6 @ 10 KB/s, but when I go to the Monitor window it regularly jumps up to 200 KB/s, and has once jumped up to 336KB/s. I am not complaining, just wondering how, as my 700/250 connection shouldn't enable me to more than something in the lower 90`s of download speed. It doesn't stay at these "super high" download rates long, but it's not uncommon for it to jump real high for a few seconds, then stay at about 120 KB/s for about a minute before settling down around 75 to 95 KB/s.
But, again, when viewing in the Search window it regularly drops to 6 @ 10 KB/s. That's a real problem, though I can't see why this should be when the connection jumps to more than double my connection speed when I switch to the Monitor window. (Hope I have translated everything correctly. I have Norwegian standard language for my Limewire)
