Default What you call "open"

I call strictly regimented. Which is why it makes sense to make Browse Host an option.

If you want to enable browse host, fine. If not, then don't.

Spammers occasionally do it? Try finding an alt.binaries.pictures newsgroup that's not flooded with this technique in practice. Hopefully you realize that Usenet is the source of both new files and cutting edge spammer techniques. I predict it will hit gnutella sooner, rather than later.

My apologies for assuming you meant pr0n. I see now that the word "raw" was probably meant another way; my bad. In any event, your difficulties finding raw images could be solved by either sorting by size or messaging the person sharing the file and asking for more. Although, if a person (such as yourself) is sharing files with vague names, they will probably have already enabled browse, or more likely it will be enabled by default.

Also... "restricted, filtered and controlled"?

How about restricting limewire usage to those who don't mind lamers grabbing every file they're sharing simultaneously, while filtering out anyone who desires control over what they share?
