Queuing (Shareaza and BearShare have it. LimeWire?)
 
What’s the status of queuing consideration or development thereof for Lime Wire?

Shareaza and Bear Share are already on the band wagon. Lime Wire in one of the top Gnutella servants, I think it would be very beneficial to the network and its' users if Lime Wire were to implement queuing.

Queuing would benefit Lime Wire users directly. Because, as time goes on, and the network becomes saturated with Queue capable clients, all non queuing servants will be at a great disadvantage when it comes to downloading from busy hosts, since these host will always "prefer"(1) queue capable servants. This in turn will make all non-queuing servants have lower file availability. And I think this greatly decreases the Usability and Value of such an application.

As an avid user of the Gnutella network, I'd like to know where Lime Wire stands on the implementation of this great feature?


Footnote:
(1) what I mean by PREFER -

A queue capable servant will always prioritize its' upload list in the following fashion:

1 - (High priority) Servants in the Queue waiting to upload
2 - (Low priority) Servants randomly requesting files

Servants which belong to group #2 will never have a chance of hitting an available transfer slot if there are servants in group #1.
Thus, they will have to wait until all Queue capable servants have finished their transfers (and none are requesting any more); A probability that will decrease as the Gnutella network gets saturated with Queue capable clients. Thus, putting all servants that don't support queuing at a great disadvantage.
