Connections tab always shows 3 hosts

I recently installed LW to give it another try. The Connections tab always shows exactly 3 hosts (and not always the same hosts). Is this bad? Why does it do this? How do I force it to use more hosts? I tried adding more hosts but they disappear after I press "Add".

Damn, someone with the very same problem!!!
So it was pretty useful to first search the forums.

I can't get more than 3 hosts either. This is really p*ssing me off!
BEFORE I complain, I usually read FAQs and guides.

And now do read that guide!!

It looks as if the LimeWire team has decided to allow not more than 3 hosts if you're a Leaf Node.
If so, I'd plead for an IMMEDIATE change of the guide!
Because this is tricking people into thinking that this actually works (which it does not for leaf nodes, tried it a million times).

[b]"If you are a leaf node, you will only see 3 Ultrapeer connections by default. However, you can increase the connections and increase search result success. You can change how many connections you can have up at once by increasing the number (no more than 6) in the input field on the bottom"[b]

This is a freaking pack of lies!

I will try to downgrade a few versions, maybe it was intentionally removed with some later versions.
Grrrrrrrrrr....
