But - given time, LimeWire will keep looking for new hosts for the files in your download list.
I'd suggest that for person to person file transfer you would be better off with a dedicated program rather than try to stretch LimeWire/gnutella to be anything other than a p2p network.
FTP servers and clients are widely available and I believe that many of the ICQ/netmeeting style of programs support file transfer.
Mark | Hello!
I think that you have missinterpreted my request for a re-search function.I already know about the Requery sent function.What I meant was kind of a intervall search function which would work like this:
Example:
You do a search with following term:
Britney Spears-Stronger
And you get a lot of results in the search but not that exact song was found.But I am in a hurry and do not have time right now to do another search so I would like to configure LW to do the search and download for me automatically.The function could work something like this.I click Control(Or Command on a Mac) and then the mouse button somewhere in the search area field or on the search tab and a contextual menu would appear(this function already exists in LW) but I would like to have a new field and function to this menu and that is something called Intervall search when I select that option I would like LW to perform the exact same search for me once every 5 minutes and if it found a result that matched my query letter by letter then It would automatically attempt a download of that file for me so the next time I show up in front of my computer I would have already gotten that file and can listen to it.This was just an example but that is the function I wanted.
As far as Direct connections is concerned I would not mind if that was possible over Gnutella.I personally hate ICQ and would never use it.LW developers should continue to expand it's capacity so that we do not have to use not so practical FTP servers or messenger programs.
