Bring Back IP for Mac version
 
While there still seems to be some option to see the IP number in the search window for the PC version, AFAIK this is not an option for the Mac. This was very useful information: one could avoid trying to download too many files from one host, for example, or could easily discover that for a particular host, four stars means absolutely nothing. Alternatively, one could remember a particular host who has good download speeds. Now, I feel like it's hit or miss, and I have no idea why this feature was removed in the last couple of builds for the Mac. Please, please, put this feature back in!

There is no difference between the Mac and PC versions of LimeWire. They are the same code. Only the installation software is different.

The rest of you post is a valid request still, of course.

Command-click on a column heading in the search results and a menu will display with all of the possible columns.

Thanks for the hint! That worked fine. I had tried option+click, since that is the usual substitute for PC right click. I would never have come up with command+click on my own.

Thank you efield - I'd managed not to find that. Really helpful.

"command>click" Eh?
 
Freiluft & Treatid....
Which Mac OS are you using? Efield sent me the same answer for the same question
but "command>click" on a LW search window title sure doesn't work for me!

Please see this thread for some background and other info:

And if there is more to this trick to get addresses in LW 2.4.x Pro let me know, Please.

9.2.2, six-month-old, now hopelessly outdated 500 MHz iBook dual USB combo drive. Apple+click on any column in the search window menu bar yields a contextual menu where columns may be selected (bitrate, the old "location" that I couldn't find, and a very hopeful "hash", etc.).

(BTW, you should be using 8.6 on that venerable Performa, unless you have to use keystroke macros in Word 2001. You take a tremendous speed and RAM hit with 9.1 on older machines unless you have a processor upgrade).

Sorry - not MAC. PC and right click.

Perhaps you are clicking on the wrong bit - Right click doesn't work on the column headers in the download section for example (which is what led me to not finding it for searches - I gave up right-clicking too early).

Freiluft,
Tried to email you directly (N/A) as I think this is now a very "(personal) LW Feature Request"

Regarding OS 8.6 vrs OS 9.1, a speed or Ram loss is not a problem for guys like me...
I don't use Word 2001, and except when running Photoshop Elements or LimeWire,
this old Performa is still faster than I am.
Do you think that my use of OS 9.1 on the Performa is the reason the contextual menu
does not show in LW 2.4.x with the command>click?
Increasing LW memory has no effect and I run LW with OS9.1 Base extension set;
no other programs other than AOL (for access) at the suggested "minimum" memory setting.

Would love to hear from someone who is using LW 2.4.x,
on a older Mac w/ OS 9.1 (or 8.6), and is able to command>click their way to this hidden IP feature.

Thanks for the hint on finding the location coloumn! Very helpful--I had greatly missed this feature! Here's a suggestion--why not add a feature under View that shows what columns are available and allows the user to set?
