As it is, LW will auto re-search incompletes once per hour I think it is.

Hi all,

I love Limewire, and I have zero complaints about it,
in fact, it's so great that I use it all the time.
Thank you so much for developing this cool program.

That said, It would be nice to have an icon for it.
I'm a Fedora Linux user, so a .PNG file would work for me.
I'm currently borrowing an icon, but it doesn't really fit the program, you know?
This program deserves it's own icon and branding, IMO.
Thanks, and keep up the amazing work.

i'm not sure it's been mentioned yet but seeing as you can now download torrents through limewire wouldn't it make sense to have selective downloading. You know how when you open the torrent in BitTorrent or uTorrent it comes up with a screen that enables you to select which file you want from a torrent. Say if someone has put up a band's discography and you only want one album out of say 5 you just select those files that are in the album and unselect the ones you don't want.

I don't think it's possible now, and i think it's a useful function:
when you explore a host, you should be able to put it on a list or mark it as favorite. then you can check the host you're interested in when they got something new. You don't need to remember their ip too:idea:

You know Windwos, I like your idea, that and being able to save your favourite search (keyword) criteria.

However, if your favourite "Host" changes his IP address, for whatever reason, you would no longer be able to find and/or search your host, but it still is a good idea.

A method for filtering fake files

When searching video files (especially newer movies) the search results in massive amounts of auto generated junk files that match existing good files in their size. I keep hoping to find some pattern to the hosts or the 32 character code identifying these files (ya, I don't have a good technical name for the code thingy...bitprint?). Anyway, maybe someone with a better understanding of this system could figure out a clever way to identify these fake file generators and filter them out from results. I'm sure my idea isn't original, and perhaps not even useful; but I just keep thinking that overpeers, mediasentry, and mediadefender must have some recognizable pattern and if their results could be prevented or retaliated against in some way, the utility of limewire would be greatly increased.

Remember autocompletion for searches between launches.

i have a little feature request. A filter for movies so you don't have the 277,0 Kb fake results anymore. i sujest a filter for minimum size. If we search for something then you can select files that are greater than 600 Megabytes for movies or so.

i noticed some incoming search request are "avi" i think thase are bots that copy the name of the files and drop fake results.
And the 277,0 Kb files are only mpg sized
