sberlin,

I don't care so much about forcing a download from a particular user, but not being able to separate grouped results limits my ability to use the browse host option to find content I did not know about. I am forced to use an old version of LimeWire (one with the grouped checkbox) so I can find new files.

For example, I run a search for video files with "iraq" as the keyword and get back a bunch of hits, many of which are grouped. With the old LimeWire, I can ungroup and browse the hosts and often I find a lot of content I was unaware existed. I'd say I've found half my mpegs this way. The direct connect feature somewhat addresses the issue, but I would have to manually type in the IP address. What a pain!

It would be very helpful if you would allow to ungroup, even if you forced me to swarm download. I don't care about where it (the file) comes from, I just want to find those little jewels I didn't know were there until I browsed them on some host computer.

Thanks,
Nonya
