I am able to set my "try to keep x connections up" variable to whatever I want, and after I do so Limewire does faithfully try to keep that many connections up. But when I launch the program initially, the number in that box is irrelevant, Limewire will only bring up three connections. If I highlight the 4 or 5 or whatever it is and then press Enter or Apply or Ok or whatever, then more connections will come up, but only if I manually reenter it every time. It isn't exactly a _problem_ , but it is something for you developers to be aware of, if you weren't already.
