I have to say that was sound advice. In fact it got me grinning from ear to ear for a moment.

Case in point: Limewire pro does in fact have limitations, and I dont have to read, know or understand the source code to figure it out.
Reasoning: I usually connect to 5 ultra peers at any given point, and only 5 at a time. I could add another host as per your recomendation(s), however it drops that connection after about 4 seconds and continues with the origional 5 hosts. Now what I did was I removed one host and it automaticly added about 3 hosts and then after about 4 seconds, dropped 2, leaving me with... you guessed it, 5 hosts/one different from the others. And no firewall is one this port.

Do you even have limewire installed to accurately provide sugestions concerning this matter or even test your sugestions prior to posting? Im asking this because your attempts fall short of what is realy fact or fiction.

I adverage 5800 down and 716 up off on one node, the only node that is provided for me, unless of course i wanna run up the line next to my house and connect to another node, however I will decline to do so because out cable line is above the voltage line which is connected to a transformer that for some reason smokes when it rains or if its 30 degrees and below. I dont know why, its only 46 years old.

The question is why are pro users able to gain two to three additional hosts, but still in fact limited to other hosts? Especially when 13 hosts are found (In my area) when first launching Limewire, but drop down to 5 within 15 seconds... I guess I wouldnt make a big issue out of it if Mr. Limewire didnt offer a pro version. But now purchasing the pro version and only getting two extra hosts out of the whole thing is a waste of my time and more importantly, money. It should be addressed to every prospective buyer of the pro version that its simply not worth the $18.88. Have a great day and any communications can be forward to me at reg808@comcast.net.
