What do you mean by temporarily unshare???

| 2. A centralized (or distributed with the use of the DNS Round-Robin technique) Gnutella Search Engine Web Service that is connected to the gnutella network so that a user can perform web-based searching with a browser and links to files that will appear downloadable through a magnet link, limewire will autimatically take care of the download because of the magnet url. (maybe magnetmix.com could handle this? it is owned by limewire right?) that would be frikon awesome if such a thing existed, then you could search through their gnutella connections that might be out of my own network horizon and find what you want. This is a big MUST. |
In addition to using up huge amounts of resources, the RIAA would just love such a feature because they wouldn't have to pay BayTSP for such a service, no - they could simply use LimeWire's service for free.

| 3. Ability to browse folders of another users shared content when using the 'browse host' feature. |
Good idea, ask the LimeWire devs why they didn't implement it yet. I did submit a patch for that.

| 6. Just a little nag, the spinning lime should be better graphically designed. i like the image, but the quality is very poor. |
Yeah, it seems as if LimeWire's designer quit a while ago.

| 7. The 'Whats New' search should have the ability to search whats new on the network after limewire starts up.... maybe an option should be setup in the options window for this. |
That's not possible.

| 8. GET RID OF: sharing incomplete files. i hate it when people share there incomplete files and it fills up the search window full of unwanted crap. |
LimeWire doesn't allow people to share their incomplete folders. Users have to outsmart LimeWire by moving incomplete files to there shared folders for that to happen. I believe that kind of stupidity is one of the system-imanent problems of file-sharing.

| 9. It would be nice to see if Limewire embeded CDDB into their software, making it the first p2p program that will actually correct, help and improve the search results and content filter. Making this an optional component would be AWESOME! |
That doesn't work very well for mp3s. There are certain apps that tried correcting ID3 tag information before, but none of them really worked.

| 10. Chat: The use of nicknames instead of IP addresses. That wouldnt seem to hard to do. A buddy system would also be rather awesome. |
A buddy system is not going to happen, - not with Gnutella.

| 11. Better media-player. One that is seekable. Dont care about being able to view video content, only audio content. |

| 12. A fast meta-tag generator with the ability to change/edit meta data on-the-fly. |
There already is something like that. Simply use the "annotate" button in the library.

| 13. Little itch: Renaming Enqueue to Add To Play List |
I like 'Enqueue'.

| 14. Add Ability to rip/encode media to mp3 or other widely used format. |
There are so many tools that already do that much better than LimeWire ever could, so LimeWire won't add it.
Quote:
| 16. Maybe torrent support and sharing it on the GnuNet. |
I used to offer a BitTorrent enabled LimeWire version, but I don't anymore because it's too much work to fork development. I don't think LimeWire will add BitTorrent support.
Quote:
| 17. Better Corruption detection. I get too many files that have been pumped into the GnuNet from the RIAA and MPAA. LEAVE US ALONE! Also, I dont know exactly how the hash file works, but i know what its supposed to do. This should be uploaded FIRST, not last, some clients upload it last and THEN limewire detects the corruption. I have noticed this more than a few times. |
LimeWire is already working on a better corruption detection (and at the current speed of development you will have that feature by 2006).
Quote:
| 18. Improvement on the play list. giving it more options. I would use limewire as my media player if it was MUCH improved, maybe even a whole redesign of it needs to be done. |
The LimeWire media player is not intended to be used as primary media player, - in my opinion it should rather be removed than improved.
Quote:
| 19. Searching should have optional boolean checking: AND OR XOR NOT NAND NOR XNOR etc, thats all the ones i can think of. This should be an extended search option. |
That may have been useful at a point but it's currently tough to implement since the max length of a query string is 30 characters. Which pretty much sucks, btw.
Quote:
| 21. Making limewires total used memory ALOT lower, if i keep it running for like a day, its already using 140,000+ K of memory. I think there maybe a memory leak somewhere? |
That's not a memory leak, that's java.

| 22. SUPPORT THE GNUTELLA2 PROTOCOL! |
not in a thousand years.

23. Version/Client Banning. This could prevent inferior clients (or bad actors) from screwing up the network. |
I submitted a patch but somehow it went >/dev/null.
Too complicated to implement...
