upload bandwith
 

Hi, I changed to OS X recently and got LW 2.9.7. In the preferences under upload you can select how much of your bandwith to use for uploads. It stands at 100 % which is a little annoying cause it eats up all my bandwith when uploading at 70-80k. The problem is when I try to reduce it a little, press apply and then OK it still stands at 100%. Any help? Also every other time or so I open LW it says I am an Ultrapeer. Is it a way to select to be an ultrapeer all the time?

Upgrade to 2.9.8

That's nice, but how can I be an Ultrapeer whenever I want?

You cannot select to be an ultrapeer all the time. But if you are online all the time and if people are able to connect to you directly, you will probably become an ultrapeer after being online for 6 - 12 hours.

Ultrapeer selection
 

I have limited experience but have observed that, although it is unlikely that you will be selected as an ultrapeer from the outset if you are returning from sleep or a bout of off-line activity, you can induce selection by restarting your computer. That is, assuming you actually want to be an ultrapeer. I have a question about this as another thread.
