IP Search
 
It is a very nice feature to be able to "browse the host" computer, however, after leaving that site, I don't see an easy way to get back.

It would be nice to add an IP search field in there to go back and look again.

I have found in my short time using the software that if I find one good song on someones shared computer, usually I will find at least one more that I don't have.

Just one thought of many.

maybe some kind of buddy list feature that could also be used for chats?

i am wondering, though, whether users wouldn't see it as a privacy issue if other users started saving their ips because, e.g., they share cool stuff etc.

also, lots of users are forced to change ips frequently, and for those, this feature would only work in the short term. question is, how many users have fixed ip. i assume it's a minority.

the buddy list sounds good. I try to maintain contact with those who download from me via the monitor pane, but would like to keep contact when the connection stalls. [Wish I could give them priority in the dl queue]

If the browse host result list could have the equivalent of the "repeat search," this would help too. "Refresh Browse" maybe?
