8 here not forwarding ANYTHING.

Have better things to do than seeing my balance emptied by some bugs.

And you think it's easier to exploit that bug when ppl are connecting to you instead of you connecting to them? Must be a really special bug

That's bad.  You're using connections that other users could be using.  How about opening up a port instead.  That way you help improve the network rather than harming it.
I am running through Tor and can't use port forwarding without losing anonymity. Undecided  I realized >50 was quite a lot and purposely lowered it before you posted.  Wink  I've more than done, and continue to do, my share in improving the Bitcoin economy and network. Cool

Around 40-50 usually.  I lose them if I have to restart, then they slowly come back over the next 24 hours or so.

>50 without port forwarding.  ( Cheesy I use lots of addnode commands from http://blockchain.info/connected-nodes Cheesy)  With more connections your transactions are spread throughout the network faster, and you get the latest transactions and blocks sooner.  So it really isn't necessary unless you are mining, but it's still nice for the average user.
