Make the size say 1.0MB and not 1,000
 
I Would like that to be changed thanks. like 4.5 MB and not 4,45056 it will be better to read. Thanks

That's a good Idea. It would be much better to read. And another thing to allow Copy/Paste.:)

htmlandy July 31st, 2002 07:08 AM

make it an option
 
It should be an option because displaying it in kilobytes is a good way to make sure its not an incomplete file.

So you think there should be an option for KB and MB right?

htmlandy July 31st, 2002 08:59 AM

yeah, lime should have the option to display the file sizes in mb or kb, that would make everone happy

Hello!

I dont think it is a good idea to change the display of size from KB to MB(atleast not yeat).

The reason for the client to display size information in KB and not MB is because that is the smallest size you can display that we humans find practical and easly readable.But since we humans finds MB even more practical why dont use that instead?

Well that is more of a technical issue.If the information would be displayed in MB then it would be hard to see which files that are complete or not and also when it comes to Swarmed downloads it would be difficult to see the identical file sizes needed for the client to determine which files that are identical but this issue will probably be solved in the future whit Hashed files.

And also since the download speed is also measured in kB/sec and not mB/sec it is more practical to calculate the file sizes in KB also.

In the future however when almost everyone have Mbit connections to the Internet and Hashing is fully implimented then a display of file size in MB rather then KB will be more practical.

Could Copy / Paste be added in the next version of LimeWire?

MacTerminator September 2nd, 2002 03:58 PM

Copy and Paste already exists.

Make sure you have the latest version of Limewire (2.5.5) and Java installed:

The latest versions of Java are:

JRE 1.4 (Windows)
JRE 1.3.1 (Mac OSX)
MRJ 2.2.5 (Mac OS9 or earlier)

On both Windows and Mac it's control+x,c,v (non-standard on Mac).
