A good Ultrapeer is doing more or less nothing except being a good Ultrapeer...

The system is very much dependent on Ultrapeers NOT actually participating in sharing !

That may seem more than a bit contrary to many people but, it's the way it really is !

Any bandwidth that an Ultrapeer uses for personal sharing activity diminishes the total available bandwidth for Ultrapeer processes and responsibilities.

For me... When I see an host as Ultrapeer sharing anything more than about 1-200 MB, I blow 'em out.
I want high performance Ultrapeers !!!

Now the arguing can start.......................
