In regards to the 10 connection limit, there is a hack for it. Its a hex setting in a file. I can't remember the exact name of the hack, but i know the people at Shareaza.com had/have it figured out. The hack came out about a week or 2 after SP2 fully deployed, and you could set the limit to pretty much anything, running the default set you to 50. Now, I heard a month or two ago, one of the updates restored this setting back to the original, and i'm not sure if there is a new hack for it, or if the old one still works. Here's a link to the thread if anyone wants it:

There is a link at the bottom for after April 05, there wasn't a significant change, so the old hack still works. Here's a link to the creator of the patch (its a mirror, his real site went down)

the old site was lvllord.com i think. something to that effect.
Just saw someone mention that, so i figured i'd post the patch, sorry if its redundant and this info is sitting in another thread. i didn't have time to search.
