"unconfirmedBalance" is the balance minus all unconfirmed sent transactions.  It doesn't include double-spending and unconfirmed received transactions.  A user sees the unconfirmed balance in the client.

i got the supervisor thing installed.  do i also need to install nxtbase or what?  where does my web.xml go?

Can anyone explain to me why my client keeps getting stuck on short chains? Why doesn't my client automatically query the peers that i am connected to, ask them if their chain is longer, and ask them to send over a copy if it is?

Just got to say to all the nxt devs: Nice work on 0.4.4, guys!!

Installed it a couple of hours ago, steady as a rock up til now.
I used the old blockchain files from my 0.4.2 and it picked up and ran with them really nicely.
Haven't forked or deleted a blockchain in the last 3 hours...hurrah!

So once again, good job, guys!

And a question: how many peers are other people seeing ?
I've got 38 Active and 228 Known at the moment, rising slowly.

doing both of those things, still getting stuck on short chains.

By the way, I start noticing DDOS getting bigger in the last 15 mins,

Xmas greetings to DDOSers, why don't you guys get some rest for a day or two?

or maybe it's more legit nodes connecting, who knows, will find out soon.

that is strange indeed. Maybe DfB can help you.

Also seeing this version as much more stable than the last. Or perhaps it's the lower ddos and higher number of nodes - although some part of me doesn't quite buy that.

The client says: 544 active, 213, known, 0 blacklisted; currently on block 24091 (4895341814651187594).

More I dig thru changes in 0.4.4 more I believe that it's coz of increased number of legit peers. U should thank those who brought more nodes.
