only 200? ffs. The idea behind GUESS as I understand it is that it searches until it has some results for you. A rare file will be searched for longer and over a wider area, until you get results. This will be possible because very common files are limited to 200 results, saving bandwidth that can be used to search farther for rare files.

This means you have a much better chance of finding a rare song, and when you search for a common song you are limited to 200 results. How many do you need?

It may require a slight change in your searching patterns. Instead of searching for "Beethoven" you would search for "Beethoven - für Elise" This way, instead of 3000 results for all things beethoven, you get 200 for the song you wanted, which should be plenty.

I would suggest you upgrade when GUESS comes out. Unless you only like totally mainstream stuff and want 3000 results for a britney spears search. GUESS will help you find specific files much easier, and will help the network overall.

You have to edit more than one file to have more connections, but having 100 ultrapeer connections would be lame. It might help you, but would not be nice for the network. With enough people doing that it would really gum things up.
