LimeWire has a really cool feature to Browse Hosts to see what files they are sharing.


Users who discover the browse host on right click and try it, are probably curious people, but personally I think you have a bigger chance of downloading a file faster from multiple hosts rather than downloading from just one host, since it might go offline, or it might be sharing or downloading, therefore having less bandwidth to give you.

I'd like to poll this issue, since it touches the feelings of many users, some defend browse host, some would just like to have the option to 'anonymously' share to some extent.
