Exclamation Feature request (connection speed, up/dl controls, que control).

Connection speed options: More than modem/dsl/isdn/cable/T1+. Might even be nice to be able to enter exact numbers for up/down speed limits. For cable/isdn/iDSL users, most often they don't have a 512Kb upstream... So, for iDSL users (who get 128Kb) or isdn users (who get 112Kb), it's rather dificult to control how much bandwidth is used, since the upload bandwith slider is 25%-100% (128Kb-512Kb), which makes 25% (128Kb) actually beyond practical iDSL/isdn/cable modem upstreams due to packet overhead (unless you have >128Kb/sec). Mind you, I found a way around this by entering 256 on the "Connection Speed=" entry of the limewire.props file, but now I'm reported as a modem ... I'd like to find this modem that does 256Kb/sec!

Que control: Be nice to be able to move entries to the top of the list (or maybe to any position in the list). This also implies being able to sort/view the list in que order also.

up/dl controls: Handy feature would be to allow pausing of up or downloads (in case you wanted to give more of your bandwidth to a specific transfer). Pausing an upload could stop it and move it to the top of the que. Or maybe to the 2nd (or bottom) que position so it won't simply resume immediately.

up/dl control: Ability to tag any entry in the upload que and have it begin uploading ASAP, reguardless of your "max uploads" limits.

up control: Ability to tag an active upload and remark it to receive more or less bandwidth (so you could help someone out with a file faster, or put someone "on the back burner").

up control: Shared files tag for priority treatment in the upload que. Meaning, if I have a brandnew file that I want to share above all others, I could mark it so that it automatically gets moved to the top of the upload que anytime someone requests it.

Of course, from these requests, you can probably guess what part of LimeWire I use the most... Uploading, of course! hehe
