I don't understand all this stuff. I am not clear the difference between a peer and an ultra peer. My connection seems to hover around 200 hosts most of the time, sometimes it's as low as 40. My peak is 1500 but that only happened once. How do you get connected to so many?

If you are not an ultra peer are you limited to 3 connections in your connections tab? I set the number of connections to maintain to 6, 10 whatever but it's always just three. Today suddenly I see 6 I don't know why. It's not that I became an ultra peer I know because I tried turning on the monitor and it still says i'm a leaf node shielded by an ultra peer?


Also what's the difference between protocol .6 and ultrapeer? Which is newer? I do see taht with the .6 I can see the number of hosts in the hosts column but with ultrapeer it's always "?"
