It seems that even though Im always and ultr-peer with 90% of my bandwith open and unused, plenty of free MEM and CPU, and about 60 peers, any single download never claims to have more than 10 sources.

Is this by design? I sure would get things faster, if it allowed ... say 20. Especially where 24 are available, and if im stuck to just 10, i may not get a couple of those T3 fast ones.

What is the likelyhood of this limit getting changed into a configuration option (setting) that I can modify?

Also, what are the chances of getting the peer limit set as an modifiable option, so I can upgrade throughput from just a couple meg to 10 or more, by doing 100 connections (peers + leafs) instead of just the approximate 60 max that Limewire seems to set?

This would also help me get better searches than I do currently. I usually only get 4000 hosts showing in stats, with not more then 5 Terabytes available to search. In the olden days of Limewire 1.7d, I recall connecting to over hundreds of Terabytes and literally thousands of hosts. I know that the system has been improved greatly, and changed, so i dont expect to use that as a gauge for success or proper Limewire efficiency. But the idea of 'more' is appealing.

Thanks.
