Hi Terry
There is not currently a user pref for setting the number of connections, but searching as leaf is currently very good. Search for posts by "trap_jaw (he's the poster who could answer your questions about editing the code). See also this thread for more on the Ultrapeer questions http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...hreadid=20260.

If that's not enough, post back and I'll see what else I can find that might help.
