- Prevention of multiple identical error messages at one time.

When I leave limewire and my ISP has shut off it's connection, I come back to a buildup of 'Not Responding' error messages that sap all the memory out of my computer.

Bittorrent side feature

I would really like to see something napster like, and what I mean is the user has to create a username and not just use one's IP address. I download a lot of hard to find, rare files, and I've had incomplete files in my incomplete folder for like two months and it ticks me off that I can only find this certain user like once every 5 months. If you create a hotlist option it would make it easy for users to connect to friends or people who have the same tastes in music.

Also have an open nap feature where once you connect to the network you have to automtically share files since I get alot of leechers who download off me. This is why napster was so successful was because you can get millions of files anytime you wanted and all these new P2P apps allow you to share or not share which is stupid because the more you share the better the network is.

These are some features I'd like to see

1. Hotlist option
2. Terminate IP browsing and create a mandatory username (again relates to option 1)
3. Chatroom - for discussion purposes and more convienent support. Wuith the message you have to create a username, get an email and activate account, it takes quite a bit of time and a chatroom will solve the time issue for support
4. No more behind firewall crap to prevent downloads.
5. Open Nap meaning once you connect you have to share prevents leechers

I'll think of some new things as it comes.

Add a window selection to the View menu or have a window menu. I mean this in regards to chat. If you have chat window open (or several), sometimes it gets hidden behind the LW interface. That issue has bothered me since I 1st used LW (v2). Also, on odd occasions error messages can get hidden behind LW (this might be a M$ Windows issue I can't remember.)

Playlist: It would be nice to have the option to have more than one playlist open. And you can swap between the playlists. At present, you can only have one open. If you create a new one but then open a saved one, then the new playlist is lost unless it's been saved. Also, it has come to my attention that playlists can only be "Saved As ..." & cannot be saved using the same name as the older saved playlist. If it is, the playlist becomes corrupted & a blank playlist results. eg: I have a saved playlist called "A". I then open A & add more songs to it. I then save as "A". I open playlist B. Then I reopen A & all the playlist is blank; corrupted! Reference to this finding HERE (click on link)

Is there any such thing as an m4a playlist? Or a combined playlist that has more than one audio format? I noticed m4a files cannot be added to a playlist within LW. I presume they can be in some other audio programs.

limewire.props option to start in background, i.e. not disable my computer (and blank my screen) with useless splash windows

Been suggested by me and others

sorry if this has been suggested already:
i would appreciate it a lot, if there was a keyboard shortcut for the "back to search" button. when you search a lot, it is annoying if you always have to use the mouse button to do a new search.
Thanks!!

I would like it if lime wire could have more search abilities when it comes to size. all I'm asking is for them to add a min and max limit on the size and a size search which would allow us to search for all files of a specific sizes that way you can search for more of the same file even if the name has been changed.
ps it would also help stop those irritating 20 to 500 kb viruses automatically generated on certain ip.

I know its obious but havent seen this request anywhere
Since you can copy TTHs into the clipboard frommost pages & P2P clients it would be nice if u could search by TTH

Searches by hash are not allowed, but there is hope the developers can find a way with a Distributed Hash Table.

Sorry but what do u mean by Searches by hash are not allowed? U mean currently in the program? because all the other p2p programs i know u r allowed to use it

Why doesn't LW search ONLY the exact term I enter?

example:

I enter the search term for the artist Greg Johnson but I get a gazillion results made up of Jack Johnson, other Johnsons, other Gregs and combinations of groups of people including Gregs and Johnsons.

Try using an "Any Type" search and add the file extension

"Greg Johnson .mp3"

What the hell is in those 851.7s anyway? The perpetrators sure are a busy bunch. Must be an interesting life, spending endless hours creating pollution like that on purpose. Kinda' like looking back across a once pristine lake and proudly thinking "see all those turds floating there? Those are MY turds!"

WELL I HAVE SOME IDEAS

FIRSTLY I WANT A UPGRADE WHERE THERE IS A BUTTON THAT CLEARS ALL THE DOWNLOADS THAT HAVE FINISHED OFF THE LIST. JUST NEXT TO THE PREVIEW BUTTON OR SOMETHING.

JUST A SIMPLE PICTURE OF A ERASER CLEARING OFF A BLACK BOARD


SECOND I WANT A FEATURE WHEN A SEARCH BAR APPEARS WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR A FILE. IT SEARCHS THE SEARCH FOR THE WORD YOU HAVE TYPED FOR THE FILENAME.

EG. I TYPE IN "MOCKING BIRD" LIMEWIRE SEARCHES THE SEARCHS. IT FINDS:

EMINEM: MOCKING BIRD


LUCKY LAST YOU DONT HAVE TO ADD THIS BUT IT WOULD BE GRATEFUL. JUST A SCREEN BOX UNDER THE "ALL TYPES" SEARCH BOX. SO THAT IF WE PREVIEW A FILE THAT IS A MOVIE WE DONT HAVE TO PLAY IT ON THE PROGRAM "WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER"

IF YOU CAN DO THIS IT WOULD BE EASIER TO WORK LIMEWIRE AND I WOULD BE GRATEFUL

Chuckie... Wrote you about half a book... Got hit by one of those Cyberian snap crackle pop events and it's gone. Sorry, don't have time to redo just now but... Control your clear downloaded from the options menu (set) jump to library and hit refresh. If they don't clear there is a fragment yet to be downloaded. They are what freeze your video when you try to play what seems to be almost (99%) complete. It's like a 10 foot section of bridge that's missing just after it starts over water. It's not much in the overall but you still end up in the river and can't get back up there to finish the crossing. As for a "universal" player... When they finish that universal translater from Star Trec it should hook right in. The multitude of Codecs are virtually like languages all of their own with no common thread other than being digital in nature. Like the common thread in language - They are all spoken, but there is no shared essence. Now compare those languages in the written forms - Russian, English, Chinese, Aribic, Hebrew. There is nothing about one that is even remotely similar to the other, even when they are saying exactly the same thing. But, you might find Crystal Player will play partial files when nothing else will (or can even identify its format) http://www.crystalplayer.com/CrystalPro.exe. Instead of hitting "launch" to preview your file jump out to the real directory location of the file <goto the incomplete sub directory> (explore button in library) right click the file and "open with" Crystal Player. It isn't a 100% sure thing. You still have to have enough of the file for it to have something to grab on to, but it sure does outperform all of the "big boys" when it comes to "unidentified format, file fragment, media samples". Haven't used it in quite a while, and it's come a long way since I used it last. Had to Google around for quite some time before I relocated it (all I could remember was it had something to do with ICE). So you have in fact done me a service in trying to locate it for you. Forgot all about it, and really look forward to playing with it again. Anyway, hope it helps... Stick with it guy, you'll get your arms around it soon enough, and you'll look back and wonder what it was that seemed so difficult at the time... Then it'll be up to you to pass your sage wisdom along to someone struggling to make their first trans Cyberian crossing without a compass, map, or faithful Shurpa to guide them...
