Do not restrict uploads (or "Ban Greedy Servants") for files smaller than xx MB.

Do not restrict uploads (or "Ban Greedy Servants") for files in this folder: D:\foldername\allshare.

Ban uploads after a user has received xxxx MB from me within an 8/x hour period."

Also, ability to see Library statistics in on list regardless of shared tree structure while retaining current view ability.

So I was mindlessly staring at a download, like when most of my ideas are born and I had a little thought about what bugs me most: network content.

The plan goes something like this -

Every time a user upgrades Limewire, it searches through the shared folder for files known to be junk and if any are found Limewire alerts the user and gives them a list of the junk files with check boxes next to them. The user can then decide to remove the files or not depending on if they actually want the files.

Like an optional little shared folder check up and spring clean with every upgrade.

I haven't really thought it through properly but thought I'd spit it out before something shiny distracts me..

I'm relatively new to P2P, some of these ideas I've noticed have already been listed. For one, 'Limit number of slots a particular file can take'. I noticed that was on the 'list' since 2004? Moments after downloading a 'gem', a 600+ meg file, 15 users were instantly downloading it. Since this is a several hour u/l, everything else I have was basically unavailable. This one feature, or lack thereof, has made getting this file, and others like it, a real problem as very few hosts want to dedicate their systems to this one file for 1/2 the day per user of what will end up taking several weeks until this file gets around. But no one wants to host it for this reason, It is probably one of the most important features that desperately needs implementation. IMHO

As a result, this and many others like it, are rare finds. What's more, not a single Limewire user was connected. Bearshare, Snaz-illa (?), morp-somthing was scarfing up all my bandwidth. All of their clients were like sticky magnets, I'd kill their uploads and they would almost instantly re-connect. I was happy to see that even though I selected this file as no longer share-able, it allowed the uploads to continue until finished. It really irked that I couldn't browse any of their systems, so how could they see mine?


No, but perhaps a 'Reserve ___ slots for Limewire Users: (0-15)' 15 means you'd only let Limewire users connect.

No, that's a programmers question for sure ;-) (and I resemble that remark). If you get a particular version that works, the features or options you use work well, leave well enough alone. You shouldn't force people to upgrade to what may be a buggie version just to get a slot.

No. About the time I get to Ultrapeer status, Windoze locks up and I have to reboot, forcing me back to leaf.

Good idea. Share and share alike.

Who wants to chat?

Good idea.

Good idea.

Hmmm, this would be tricky. Some files are rather large, besides if there are u/l slots available, does it matter? Maybe he'll keep the files 'shared' and get more hosting,

Just a few first-timer rambings, ignore if needed.

I have noticed very much junk turning up in limewire. Sometimes lamers add comments to their junk that says "not related to: (your search)." That way their junk turns up in your search. Having filtering that excludes results that have keywords that are in the comments would dramatically reduce this type of junk. I would suggest that filtering the comments would also be an optional feature, so you can choose to filter them or just the main file name.

MANY programs that are available for download are corrupted, mislabeled, or contain trojan virusus and spyware.

Please enable SELECT/DELETE for "Search Types" and downloads

A feature I would really like added is the ability to filter searchs by the minimum and maximum size of search result files. Every other P2P program I have ever used has this ability. I'm just sick of looking for a medium to large size file, and having my search slowed down and cluttered by thousands of tiny ones.

I would like to ask if it would be possible to create a skin for limewire that looks like the Napster Skin, I like the look of napster but i dont like the program, if limewire had a skin you could download that looked like the napster layout it would be great. Just a suggestion though. Thanks.

Yellow line at top of search, might be nice for new users, but most people must know where to find LW homepage to get fresh download of LW. Or is 4.12.11, I try now intended for VISTA users who by now getting useed to restrictions?

Taking advantage of what you're sayin' about Vista, rumors say that Ms addopted P2P tech for the sending files on LAN's

Is it possible to set up a password to log into the Limewire program?

For those of us who have kids who should be doing their homework and not messing around on the computer downloading music, etc. it would be nice to have a log in to access this program.

Kind Regards
