Smile let's be constructive - development wish-list

other discussion areas have a wish-list thread. think we should get one going here also. this really might help vinnie to get ideas for further developments (instead of wasting all his time with discussions).

i will start:

- result searching
a search the results option. field to enter words which instantly are used to filter the search results.

- QoS filtering
possibility to include QoS as search criteria (maybe post search). measuring available bandwith and showing if there are slots available would be good. maybe the latter could be implemented as a per-file function.

- Peer requirements
possibility to set requirements on other peers. for example so that the client doesn't keep connections with hosts having a ping > 1000, sharing less than 2 gigs, having less than 10 connections to other hosts - whatever seems sensible from the technical viewpoint also. if number of connections etc. is auto-set depending on the own connection speed, this would be an automatic determination of host/client like networks.

- download-splitting
i can't say whether the protocol allows this. but splitted downloads running simultaneously on different hosts would be greatest thing i could think of. well, if i get download rates of >1mbps i don't care about this feature, but unfortunately the usual download rate of 50kbps would be enough if spread to 10 connections. but this would include determining identical files (upon filesize and parts of the name - difficult i think).

well, guess that would improve the experience a lot already. i am sure i missed a lot of things - so let us hear them. and let's hope p2p will have a long life
