I would like to second that users do not read manuals. Just yesterday, someone posted saying, something to the effect, "I installed LW, now what?". If your GUI is so unintuitive that a user can't figure out what to do after installation, than something's wrong. Obviously, on the forum, we do get a skewed perception. I mean, people who use the program correctly don't come and tell us how good it is, only the people with problems. Regarding the chunking thing. That bothers me, not knowing if a UL is successful. It bothers me so much, I just turned on the auto clear inactice option, so now I don't see whenever anything may or may not be completed.

Also, a very useful option would be to have two settings profiles. One for UP and one for leaf. Mainly because of this: when I'm UP, a great deal of my UL and DL bandwith is taken, and I can't support as many ULs as when I'm leaf. So if I have my UL slot options set for when I'm a leaf, as UP, I get more ULs than I can handle. And LW seems to ignore or decides based on variables I don't understand how to open up a slot above your minimum slots but below your max, because as UP, I'll open up my max slot setting on leaf, and then a bunch of people get very slow, unreliable DLs. So, if two settings profiles were implemented, i.e., so and so many UL slots on leaf and so and so many slots on UP, it would be very very conveinant.
