Question Why am I connected to so many hosts?

Hey, folks

Usually when I use Limewire, and I click on the Connections tab, I see that I'm connected to three or so Hosts. (I have it set to "Keep approximately 2 connections up.")

Well occasionally (like right now) I'm connected to about 60 Incoming hosts. Is this because I'm being used as an Ultrapeer host connection? If so, are users selected as Ultrapeer hosts randomly, or how does that work? And what's the difference between an Incoming and and Outgoing Host?

BTW, I have two or three dozen other questions about this P2P file sharing technology if someone's interested in answering a few?

Thanks in advance!
