-For OS X: All file details (Artist, Album, Length, Bitrate, etc.) available in tooltip in downloads pane as in search pane. iTunes truncates filenames when it arranges files in the Finder, so I have song names in my download pane with no clue as to the artist etc.

Hi Limewirers,

I have just downloaded your program, and I have an idea. Under media types, you should have a 'social justice' type that people can search. This is an area that displays home-made media streams (from cell phone cameras, digital cameras etc.) from current events (specifically, armed conflict, war-crimes, social injustices, etc.). It is a bit morbid, but it would be a powerful tool for social justice.

Kind Regards,

Stevan.

That the audio option bitrate be on the top like Licence type or genre, so you don't have to look for it under More search options.

One feature I would like to see from Limewire, besides from new modernized interface and skins, is a rewind and fastforward option in your limewire player. It could be by simply holding down the next and back buttons.

P.S. Windows Vista is going to released in early 2007, are there any plans to have a Vista-compatible Limewire?

For the player, it would be nice to have an option to select the output audio device. I use 2 sound cards, one mostly done for professional voice work, but the other is the one I use for players like the one that's included on Limewire. It would be nice to be able to play Limewire through the same sound card I use on Winamp. Currently I use Winamp through headphones...I have to use my soundcard that runs through a mixer as my default audio device, otherwise one of my important audio programs won't work. I can't change Limewire's settings...so that leave me to have to use Winamp as a player and it takes MUCH longer for it to come up initially.

I think you'll find that a lot of people run two or more sound cards, depending on how elaborate the speaker setup is. I do.

Thanks,

Gil

an option that makes limewire search for more hosts when an unfinished download that is in the Awaiting Sources stage is next in line, then resuming the download as soon as the search is done(closing the search tab as well). so, by this i mean the option should include downloads that are Awaiting Sources in the dl queue. about the resource issues of such an option, possible solutions would be allowing the user to set up number of re-searches before finally giving up on a file, or specifying a period of time to wait before searching for more sources.

i've had a lot of experiences where i select an unfinished download to "Find more Sources", but then it doesn't find any. but when i do a manual search and then try "Finding more Sources", it quickly finds hosts. but manual searches can get tiring, so automated searches would be a lot more convenient.

I've been playing around with LimeWire OSX for about a year now, and I love it but there are definately some improvements that are badly needed!


1) Add a button for the "Search More" -> REPEAT SEARCH and GET MORE RESULTS functions, please and thank you! It sucks using the Contextual Menu via keyboard & mouse combo to issue each command for us Mac users with the standard one button mouse!

2) Please DEFAULT the Ultra-Peer option OFF for 1st time installs. This would be the number 1 turn off for Mac users with dial-up modems that end up waiting 2-3 minutes for a command to work and waiting endlessly for messages because their bandwidth & memory threads have been flooded. Most never use Limewire again after their experience with the spinning cursor going on endlessly. The second biggest LimeWire OSX complaint would the slow start-up time. But that would strictly be a mute point because of the Java backbone of LimeWire OSX, it's always slow!

3) Is there any hope of adding some mini controls or buttons to the MONITOR window instead of forcing us to constantly keep changing the settings from the preferences? For example a mini bandwidth slider, a small edit box for the slots and user amounts. And to take it even further, a BAN or BLOCK button for downloaders you don't like. I personally hate the losers with nothing but lame PORNO ads named to whatever filename you were searching for.

4) Another P2P program on the Mac OSX side called Poisoned has the ability to not only connect to the Gnutella network, but it can also connect to the giftd , Ares , FastTrack and OpenFT networks. As far as I know all 5 network types appear to very similar and are Gnutella friendly. Is there any hope of LimeWire doing the same in the future?

5) In the CONNECTIONS window, is there any chance of adding a speed indicator for the "Ultra-Peers" ? Currently my only option is to browse each one manually and then remove all the slow ones. And to expand even further, could there be a preference setting or checkbox to automatically only allow fast Ultra-Peer connections. I've noticed by experimenting and only keeping the fast Ultra-Peers connections that were using LimeWire Pro produced the fastest and most reliable searches for me.

And thanks for a great program that only get's better each update!

I have an Idea and I hope or request one.. Can you guys or girls put user name and password up because my child is downloadind bad words in the music could you do that..

A feature that allows us to transfer the file to our computer would be helpful. We could then store it in Windows Media, or make a cd out of it. I can't do anything with it right now. But, if we could just be able to save/ move the files into a folder on our comp instead of in Limewire, then I would be grateful. I'm trying to make a cd, and I got referred to limewire. But I cant move the files to be able to make the cd.

Tools > options > saving will show you the location of your saved folder. If you go to the LW library, click on Saved Files then Explore... your saved folder will open for you You can move files from this folder to wherever you want!!
