Q. What are Ultrapeers and leafs ?
A. On the Gnutella network, you are designated as an Ultrapeer or leaf, depending on your connection, CPU and RAM, uptime, and a few other factors. It's a scheme to have a hierarchical network by categorizing the nodes on the network as leaves and Ultrapeer for improved efficiency and scalability. Users labeled Ultrapeer capable on fast connections and computers are promoted to Ultrapeer if needed, whereas dial-up connections and slower computers remain shielded leafs.
You can force yourself to a certain mode in the Morpheus configuration, but it's recommended that you leave the default setting of 'automatic' set.
