Impossible. I scan religiously with both Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D. Plus, I haven't installed anything in the last 48 hours and I didn't get a popup block notification then when browsing your site.

I have Limewire PRO 4.8.1 and theres this annoying problem that happens randomly. Like if i play a song, about 5 seconds in the song stops. Could u maybe fix this glitch.

I can understand if you cannot fix this but is there a slight change of you to have a AntiVirus scanner to scan the whole network (which I know is a LOT!!!) or maybe part of it and automatically delete infected files. This would be a BIG plus but I can understand if this is too much.

They definitely can't scan for and delete files on any criterion. If they could, they'd be forced to use it on mp3s by the RIAA and such, and the network would generally be susceptible to coercive censorship, something it was designed to resist.

OTOH, they could make file Bitzi ratings, or detected virus signatures, or similar information visible in the UI in the search results and let users decide whether or not to download the file...

this bug happens to me all the time too... im just waiting for a better mp3/m4a player.

Is it possible for limewire to search for sources while downloading?
It really annoying that it cant do this, as it says "Awaiting Sources" and i know that there are plently of sources still....

We could but then we would overload the network with searches and no search by the user would ever work. Message traffic from all the searches would be exponential based on the number of users.

Thus, we require users to take action if they want to generate a search. If you do search then you will pick up new sources.

Automated queries or requeries have and would again blow up the network. Nice in theory. Very bad in practice.

Ah i see. Well thank you for your quick reply :-)

It would be great if there was a way to print the playlist or the download request file

In addition to the following request:

- Browse host to display results with directory structure like in the library

I'd like to see directory/folder as one of the search items (in addition to images, music, documents, etc).

Further, some additional advanced search capabilities such as:

- max and min file size
- max number of words in a filename
- exclude words.

In fact just implement BearShare's search filtering capabilities..

This would greatly help filter out all the spam crap.

It's already possible to filter out certain words, but not for a specific search -- you set it up in Options to exclude stuff (e.g. if you're looking for porn, you probably want to filter out any results that claim to be "illegal", "preteen", etc. -- yuk) ... also, it's my understanding (and observation) that Gnutella queries do match on shared subdirectory names. If someone's sharing a file named shared/foo/bar.mp3, a search for "foo mp3" will generally turn it up. I think it also matches metadata sometimes -- title info in a file for example. I've had a jpeg with a bogus-looking alphanumeric code turn up as a search hit, which when downloaded proved to be relevant, and had metadata (e.g. camera model, date picture taken, title) containing the search term.

Maybe its time for a better rating system. Instead of scoring a file just based on speed (three stars, four stars, etc) include with it an ability for users to downgrade the score if they find out its a virus, spyware or just a bad copy. You could allow only one 'vote' per IP as to deter one person skewing the rating too much. This could possibly help people filter out bad files when used in conjunction with the minimum rating feature. You might also do this by host, but that could be more complicated.

Ya, I just discovered you can set up a general filter, but per search would be nice.

The big one is being able to set a max number of words per file, that really cuts out the spam.

The ipod spams have as many words in the file name as you used in your query -- no more, no less.

The very important is be able to share and download folders like in Direct Connect (DC++) because many files belongs together E.G. movie+subtitle, music cd, etc. Is this so big problem or is it due gnutella network disabilty?
