Is it possible to get more then 8 active connections on Litecoin-qt?  I checked 9333 at CanYouSeeMe.org and it is being forwarded.  I have tried with Map port using UPnP on and off and all I ever get is 8 active connections. The reason I ask is I'm solo mining and if I find a block I want it on the network as soon as I can.
