I know that more recent versions of limewire accept more ultrapeer connections when running as an ultrapeer.

however, 2.9.10 gives me almost three (3) times as many ultrapeer connections. there seem to be a lot of ultrapeers. considering, how badly ultrapeers do in terms of upload performance, i wonder whether this is a good thing.

also: doesn't such a high ultrapeer density lead to an overly connected network with lots of redundant connections?

lastly: I don't have a single non limewire host. how are we keeping the connection to other vendors?
