In the statistics you will not find the total number of users but merely the total number of hosts you know about which are only ultrapeers.

As for your first question, that's because your system couldn't handle 100,000 connections (as I mentioned, you statistics don't work that way). And the second one: because good things take time (a side-effect of not having a central server to connect to first).

sophisticated adj. having learned the ways of the world and having lost natural simplicity
You know a better example for a file-sharing program that has lost natural simplicity?
