I fully agree with you that this needs to be done immediately!!

There should be several options instituted:

In the preference of the program there should be an option to eliminate from the search outcome files that meet a certain size requirements.

2nd: One should have the ability to highlight several files at once and with one right click of the mouse block all the hosts that have those files.

3rd: If one result shows up but with 36 people that have it, at present we are only able to block one. We need the ability to block all.

I hope LIMEWIRE is reading this!!!

Lets put the class back into this program and give the users what they need.

This should be top priority next to security.

Everyone please voice your opinion and other features that you feel merit Limewire to change

SNIPPED ..... Look I thought your post was OK first time I read it but multiple postings only p^%$ people off .... Did me anyway. I realised you had posted to a pile of threads I subscribe to. E-mails were overflowing out of my mailbox and I delelet the lot. Sorry to anyone I have not replied to.

yes yes yes plz filter them so my girlfriend quit infecting my pc

I dont think this is the right spot, and my hands are freezing so its hard to type but here i go...

has anyone else ever notice how when you start up limewire and it resumes your downloads it often says needs more sources, but if you do a manual search for that very same file then it will usually find a bunch of sources. there must be a problem with the automatic search or whatever. similarly, if you start downloading and leave your computer and come back later sometimse the download has stopped and its status is "needs more sources" or whatever, but when you do a manual search, once again, it finds a bunch of sources again.

that's about the only thing that really bothers me about the current limewire.

LW 4.8.x had a force resume option. if a file was awaiting sources, the force resume option would start a search for sources. now, with it gone, the only thing you can do about files awaiting sources is to cancel them and then restart them. becomes kinda troublesome, switiching back n forth with ur incomplete folder in the library and the download tab.
i would love to have the force resume option back for good!

Add Rockabilly to the Audio Genre List

1. If we could automatically sort each search by one of the columns (set in the prefs.)
2. If we could set bitrate filters so that we do not see any audio below a certain bitrate level in the search list.

Thanks.

Add Opera Metal to the audio genre list

In the search tab, the 5 buttons on the bottom of the window are "Cancel", "Find Sources", "Pause", "Preview", and "Clear Inactive". (Sometimes the "Find Sources" button is labeled "Resume", but it does basically the same thing, despite the different label.) Highlight the downloads that need more sources and click the "Find Sources" button. (This is for LW 4.10.0, and I believe true for all of the 4.9 versions.) The feature is still there... just renamed.

I just periodicaly mark all inactive downloads, press pause and then press resume. Works fine for me.

I think LimeWire is the best p2p program on the net, but it could do with a bit of rethinking.

1. Wouldn't it be great if you had a schedule where you tell the program when to be active like Shareaza. I have free internet from 0-6 o'clock every day and it's a drag to have to set my alarm to go of at 6 when I don't have to be up till 7.30. Im sure alot of users would appreciate it.

2. Your preferencing filter really needs a never allow freeloaders not rarely as it is now. Even Freeloading Leeches hate Freeloading Leeches. + Being able to ban specific IP's from downloading from me. People that share preteen ****** etc. files should be banned completely from all networks and deserve jailsentences and not great movies and songs

3. Being able to connect to the G2 network as well would be very nice too. It's growing rapidly. Especially when downloading large files it would do alot of good.

4. An extra search option giving you the option to filter out files smaller than or larger than some presets like 1MB, 5MB 10 50 100 and so on.

5. Also I think alot of people are getting very annoyed, when using LimeWire basic, of being reminded every single time they start the program that they should go PRO. Isnt it enough that if the search window is empty there is a notice there plus a banner at the bottom of the screen. A good way to turn people of from LimeWire I think.

6. being able to filter out specific file sizes like 851.7 KB would greatly improve search options. The filter is almost perfect beside from that.

Enough with the negative.
The LimeWire crew is doing an exelent job in improving the program. I know programming takes A LONG TIME

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

1. Sounds like a good idea!!!

2. From what I've read, it's far too difficult to determine who is & who isn't a freeloader. It uses up a lot of resources. Nice concept all the same. For me, the filter does at least seem to work, even if the slider doesn't work.

3. Sharing other networks is a argumentative point. Once people or programs start utilising other networks then one or both of the networks suffer. ie: the bandwidth must be shared between both. Shareaza is a typical example of how it doesn't work very well. So many Gnut 1 users complain Raza users are unreliable to upload from ... very slow speeds & unreliable to connect to. That's because they connect to multiple networks. At least one of which requires they can only downld as fast as they upload. Get my point! Always one of the networks gets sacrificed. What I'd like to see, & also for Raza is that only one network can be connected to/accessed at one time. That would solve this big issue.

4. A size filter ... yep I've asked for it. The next best thing is the spam filter. See answer in point #6.

5. I also don't like nag messages. Even using Pro you get nag messages about updates. The previous setting was to have a popup "only" at LW startup. I believe LW should revert back to this setting for both updates & upgrades to pro. I do recognise the concept that updates should be made well aware of so the gnutella network keeps up to date without having people on much older versions which are damaging to the network without realising it. But ... a little more user friendly technique perhaps. Nobody likes being nagged. hehehe

6. Have you tried using the spam filter yet. It's a dynamic learning filter so it will learn bit by bit by what you decide is spam. Autogenerated spam results are the easiest for the spam filter to chop out.

BTW the force resume hasn't disappeared. It's now in a keyboard shortcut. For win users, right-click the file (such as from the library window/incomplete folder.) For mac of course that's option-click. For files in the main downld window .. Resume is approx. the same thing. Well similar.

the search name needs to be longer value capable some things have big file names and it sucks when u cant fit it all into the search bar.....
