If you are behind a router using NAT or a firewall that prevents incoming connections, you will be limited to eight peer connections. If you are directly connected to the Internet (your computer has a real IP address) or properly set up port forwarding in your network, you will probably have forty or more.
Bitcoin finds peers for itself, and then the peers find you.
