With the -Maxconnections=n i get 8 connections in Bitcoin Core client
the "n"=the number of connections you want. If you want 8 connections to the network then you would use the command line such as "bitcoin-qt.exe -maxconnections=8" to start your client.
My mistake. I used the number 8 in my example. It's what i wanted.
Besides disabled wallet nothing that you can notice. It is under the hood stuff.

It is a command line flag. "-disablewallet"

Ahh, thanks.. I'm still new to all this, haven't even tried any of the switches yet.. is there any detailed documentation of what the console etc allows you to do?

Thank you both!
Edit:
Ok found some problems. With the listen=0 option Armory doesn't see the Bitcoin Core client running at all. With the -Maxconnections=n i get 8 connections in Bitcoin Core client but Armory keeps connecting and disconnecting nonstop. I also tried with the listen=0 and let Armory run the Bitcoin Core client in the background but it's just stuck at synchronizing with Network.
Will take these to the Armory thread.

If anyone needs help setting up a node, or specific questions, please PM me I can help. Also I recommend all node operators to update to 0.8.6 and to switch to disable wallet mode so you can save some ramm.
Are there any specific or noteworthy improvements on .8.6?

How do i make Bitcoin Core to NOT be a full node? In Bitcoin Core options i have the "Map port using UPnP" unchecked. I don't have port 8333 open in my router. What else can i do?
Uh, what do you want to accomplish exactly?
Do you not want your bitcoind not communicate to the bitcoin network?
I want to communicate with the bitcoin network, but i want less connected nodes. I remember that 8-9 nodes were normal. Now i have something like 50-60 and it seems that it eats up my computer performance. I may be wrong.
Ah, I see.
Use the -Maxconnections=n command line option to limit the number of connections. The default is 125.

I still need help setting up that full node. Mainly because I don't know how to port forward anything -.-
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ look for your router make and model and you should beable to follow the instructions.

whats the best place in terms of cost to get a VM at to load a node? somewhere where bandwidth isn't an issue?
I don't have time to search for a provider, but of anyone can make a recommendation, that would be great!

added a full node, averaging about 60 connections so far. re-purposed an "older" HP laptop: switched to SSD on it and stuffed more ram.

It would be good to change default port number to avoid extra attention from ISP.
someone did a tutorial on it but can't find it :/
