Thanks for the update. Possibly some other clients accept requeries... besides limewire, and perhaps some older limewire clients still accept them. I agree with you that if limewire is filtering them, then it would not make a significant improvement to my download experience. But at the moment, I still tend find quite a few requiries working. I can only attribute this to the fact that there are older limewire clients and non-limewire clients connected to the same network.

I do appreciate your explanation, and I will forget the idea about hacking it to work, since I cannot affect the filters of everyone else.
