sorry if this has been suggested already:
i would appreciate it a lot, if there was a keyboard shortcut for the "back to search" button. when you search a lot, it is annoying if you always have to use the mouse button to do a new search.
Thanks!!

size does matter
 

I would like it if lime wire could have more search abilities when it comes to size. all I'm asking is for them to add a min and max limit on the size and a size search which would allow us to search for all files of a specific sizes that way you can search for more of the same file even if the name has been changed.
ps it would also help stop those irritating 20 to 500 kb viruses automatically generated on certain ip.:D

Search file by TTH
 

I know its obious but havent seen this request anywhere:confused:
Since you can copy TTHs into the clipboard frommost pages & P2P clients it would be nice if u could search by TTH:cool:

Searches by hash are not allowed, but there is hope the developers can find a way with a Distributed Hash Table.

Sorry but what do u mean by Searches by hash are not allowed? U mean currently in the program? because all the other p2p programs i know u r allowed to use it:confused:

exact search terms
 

Why doesn't LW search ONLY the exact term I enter?

example:

I enter the search term for the artist Greg Johnson but I get a gazillion results made up of Jack Johnson, other Johnsons, other Gregs and combinations of groups of people including Gregs and Johnsons.

Try using an "Any Type" search and add the file extension

"Greg Johnson .mp3"

Feature Request ----> File Size Filter <----
 

What the hell is in those 851.7s anyway? The perpetrators sure are a busy bunch. Must be an interesting life, spending endless hours creating pollution like that on purpose. Kinda' like looking back across a once pristine lake and proudly thinking "see all those turds floating there? Those are MY turds!":cool:

I have ideas
 

WELL I HAVE SOME IDEAS

FIRSTLY I WANT A UPGRADE WHERE THERE IS A BUTTON THAT CLEARS ALL THE DOWNLOADS THAT HAVE FINISHED OFF THE LIST. JUST NEXT TO THE PREVIEW BUTTON OR SOMETHING.

JUST A SIMPLE PICTURE OF A ERASER CLEARING OFF A BLACK BOARD


SECOND I WANT A FEATURE WHEN A SEARCH BAR APPEARS WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR A FILE. IT SEARCHS THE SEARCH FOR THE WORD YOU HAVE TYPED FOR THE FILENAME.

EG. I TYPE IN "MOCKING BIRD" LIMEWIRE SEARCHES THE SEARCHS. IT FINDS:

EMINEM: MOCKING BIRD


LUCKY LAST YOU DONT HAVE TO ADD THIS BUT IT WOULD BE GRATEFUL. JUST A SCREEN BOX UNDER THE "ALL TYPES" SEARCH BOX. SO THAT IF WE PREVIEW A FILE THAT IS A MOVIE WE DONT HAVE TO PLAY IT ON THE PROGRAM "WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER"

IF YOU CAN DO THIS IT WOULD BE EASIER TO WORK LIMEWIRE AND I WOULD BE GRATEFUL

Chuckie... Wrote you about half a book... Got hit by one of those Cyberian snap crackle pop events and it's gone. Sorry, don't have time to redo just now but... Control your clear downloaded from the options menu (set) jump to library and hit refresh. If they don't clear there is a fragment yet to be downloaded. They are what freeze your video when you try to play what seems to be almost (99%) complete. It's like a 10 foot section of bridge that's missing just after it starts over water. It's not much in the overall but you still end up in the river and can't get back up there to finish the crossing. As for a "universal" player... When they finish that universal translater from Star Trec it should hook right in. The multitude of Codecs are virtually like languages all of their own with no common thread other than being digital in nature. Like the common thread in language - They are all spoken, but there is no shared essence. Now compare those languages in the written forms - Russian, English, Chinese, Aribic, Hebrew. There is nothing about one that is even remotely similar to the other, even when they are saying exactly the same thing. But, you might find Crystal Player will play partial files when nothing else will (or can even identify its format) http://www.crystalplayer.com/CrystalPro.exe. Instead of hitting "launch" to preview your file jump out to the real directory location of the file <goto the incomplete sub directory> (explore button in library) right click the file and "open with" Crystal Player. It isn't a 100% sure thing. You still have to have enough of the file for it to have something to grab on to, but it sure does outperform all of the "big boys" when it comes to "unidentified format, file fragment, media samples". Haven't used it in quite a while, and it's come a long way since I used it last. Had to Google around for quite some time before I relocated it (all I could remember was it had something to do with ICE). So you have in fact done me a service in trying to locate it for you. Forgot all about it, and really look forward to playing with it again. Anyway, hope it helps... Stick with it guy, you'll get your arms around it soon enough, and you'll look back and wonder what it was that seemed so difficult at the time... Then it'll be up to you to pass your sage wisdom along to someone struggling to make their first trans Cyberian crossing without a compass, map, or faithful Shurpa to guide them...;)

Upload Log history
 

As I have well over 25,000 packages for daily access via Limewire I have a real need for a permanent Upload Log History report. Format is not critical, just common sense info will suffice. :rolleyes: Can you help?

Search and Logging Requests
 

I've been a Limewire Pro user for about 3 years and there's a few things that I'd really like to see in the next version.

1) SEARCH - Boolean search criteria in a single search tab; AND, OR, NOR

2) SEARCH - Logging of files that have been downloaded that tracks even if the downloaded file is no longer present in the library pool. Along with this, the ability to go into the log and remove items to re-download them.

3) SEARCH - Ability to save and load a group of search tabs, often searches run for days or weeks waiting for that elusive file to reappear

4) SEARCH - Link the search function with the download, so that a search automatically kicks any matching awaiting files in the download window to attempt a reconnect.

5) DOWNLOAD - In the download window, ability to filter the display of the download window so that if I'm looking for all the awaiting files with a specific name, I can easily find them.

6) DOWNLOAD - Ability to prioritize items in the download window by putting this priority in a header (like Filename, Speed, etc) so that I can sort the download window by priority.

Implementing all of this would certainly make Limewire worth paying for another upgrade. :cool:

Thank you.

Feanor

Especially this!

I never want to download one of those iPod ads or kp ever again.

Currently, I keep harmless junk files from the "What's New" searches in the UNshared dl folder. However, this workaround doesn't solve the kp problem.

Although only about 1 in 1,000 pics turns out to be kp, I'd rather NEVER ever have one of those files on my drive again. :mad:

So, FEANOR's suggestion would be a very welcome addition.

Well my fellow Cyberians, if nothing else, it seems we are on the same page, so to speak. I'm pretty sure we will be left to our own devices when it comes to solving anything. Most of what we seek has been on one wish list or another since the very beginning. Now I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the engine already performs most if not all of the abstract functions, just not necessarily on the specific data field(s) we want the function to process. Tell ya what, and I'm making no promices, but I'm gonna pull down the source code and developer kit and see if maybe some light weight Limewire Data Base "toolkit" can be tinkered together. Stief - Could you elaborate on that a bit. Just how does one identify a "harmless junk file"? I've had some pretty ugly **** jump out of Zip files that had been in the system for quite some time but remained undetected(able) until unzip. Either way, tell me more. FI) must you take and hold the entire file/or will a virtual "placeholder suffice?

re harmless junk file--I'm on a mac, so the stuff that jumps out of zips hasn't affected me yet this millenium :)

The junk I'm talking about are .jpgs, mostly ads, or really bad porn with someones web site printed all over it. Too, there are the default pictures sets that seem to come with many computers and are shared by many people.

Good luck bolting together a patch: maybe there is even a bounty for it: check http://www.limewire.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bounties and maybe you can cash in :)

Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter, Bogus file filter is absolutely neccessary even though I can get passed them I just don't want to spend a lot of time looking for stuff. Spam links during results should also be removed. Also open P2P is neccessary and what i mean by this is once when you connect to the network you have to automatically share files and no firewall blocking to preven downloads either.

Have limewire as a torrent client and an IRC client therefore ensuring total speed -As LIMEWIRE is the fastest and best:D

torrent client in progress :)

Something I Want: Look at emule look at features, Steal some from them please... Such as More file searching... Server connections... Better filtering for viruses, spyware, and crap files!

Repeat all searches button. Please, for the love of god.

The option to click an a file that is downloading and seeing what speed you are getting from what host, and then the option to remove the hosts you are getting like 1 KB/s from making room for faster hosts. It's not funny getting 15 KB/s from 10 hosts

Also the option to devide your upload speed between video and others, so that people that are just waiting for a song don't have to wait until someone has finished downloading a 500+ MB videofile before getting to download

Video Preview
 

I'd like to add my vote for a video preview box (like DAP has).

It's seems like a big oversight that it isn't already a standard feature.

Why would you want that. You just rightclick on the file and press preview

Yeah, but it has to open your media player specially to play video. It would be much better to have a small screen in the corner of limewire itself.

I still don't understand why you would want that. There are a lot of other features that need to be implemented in Limewire

But OK it's a request :)

Another one occurs to me.
 

I wonder if thumbnail previews of image files might be feasible for future builds? (a la explorer)

Tell me if ive already posted this
 

BUt what about a search bookmark option and a completed download notifier in the system tray?

if this has been requested before, i'm sorry (i know i go on other message boards and get a little annoyed when someone asks something already asked). i can't really get specific because i don't know a lot about limewire, so how about a "random" feature?

As in "choose a random file to download"?

If so, that sounds like the "What's New" type search.

No; launch random-selected audio files you've already downloaded.

That the lenght of the songs be in MB's instead of KBs, and an option to choose the type of audio media since the beginning (mp3, wma, avi).

Dowload Scheduler
 

Hi Everyone,

Did nyone feel a need for a scheduler in LW? I think it would / could be a good feature to have. You select all the d/l you want. Select the time you want to start, then the action you want to perform after they are complete. Meaning you dont have to have your comp running whole night, but shutdown when the d/ls are over. Or start the d/l at a particular time of the day?

What say guys ?

Auto resume downloads
 

Once all your download get need more sources it as far as I have seen doesn't automatically checks after some time if sources are available there should be a time feature like 2 minute or 5 after which all download which were stoped due to lack of sources get resumed.

re: Dowload Scheduler
 

There already is an option available for limewire itself to shut down after completing transfers.

If you right click the icon in the system tray it is available as 'Exit After Transfers'.

I personally wouldn't want limewire to have the power to shut down my computer.

Limewire wouldn't need to have the power to shut down the whole computer. Just the Program itself. I suggested this months ago.

A feature that should be implemented to that as well is seperate scheduler for downloads and uploads since many have a montly limit on how much to download during peakhours and flatrate part of the day/night but no limit on uploads From their ISP

Agree with Sleepy... My two cents are :

We are aware that LW can be shut down after all downloads are complete, however it would be nice to have a feature to d/l at particular times, or schedule the d/l. That is what I guess the main request was.

Also a good suggestion made, to check for new sources. Sometimes it does happen that ur d/l from 1 host and the host logs off, then u just get stuck with a 90% d/l till another host comes up (also could be a day bef4 some1 shows up with the file u r d/loading !)

Cheers!

Add new file extensions
 

Please add the following file extensions as Document:
.CBR, .CBZ

Ref: http://www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay; this format is already well represented on the Gnutella network.

i think i gotta good idea
 

how about a feature where you can rate the importance of a specific file that you are downloading. in other words say that your downloading like 6-8+ files, and u want a few of them to get done 1st/fast but dont wanna have to puase the others ya no? mabye a 1-3 or 1-5 system. 1 being most important or w/e and they all start on the lowest or mid level of importance and you can "up-grade" them. anyway, just thought it would be a good idea thx for listening :D

Save & Then Reuse Searches When Restarting LimeWire
 

I would like a way to feed a list of searches to LimeWire when starting up.

For instance, say I search for bird migration data, videos of bird flight patterns, and audio of bird calls. I would like to be able to specify a somewhat lengthy list of search terms and the type of search (document, audio, etc.), rather than retype the list each time I start up.

I think that searches could be easily saved to an XML file, which could then be read and parsed when LimeWire starts.

(Of course, then I guess you also need a way to edit and delete existing searches. So, it is not as simple as it first appears.... Although, changes to the XML file could be completed outside of LimeWire, using a text editor.)

Try rightclicking on column in download window and choose priority

please go into futher detail, I cant seem to find wat your saying :confused:

ahhh, but this is not wat i asked. i want a way 2 make 1+ more important than the others, and some more important than those even. not away to sort them :(

I think there should be a different way of putting downloads into folders.

Instead of just selecting one download folder You should be able to select different ones for different files types.

eg. At the moment my download folder is E:/downloads

When I download something I then have to move it to the corect folder E:/music etc

I think we should be able to choose where music type files go (E:/music), movie files (E:/Movies) etc.

I think I explained that to a understandable level. :)

I think Limewire should be able to handle Torrents as well.

And the answer was not how to sort them either ;)

RIGHT-CLICK DOWNLOAD COLUMN AND CHOOSE PRIORITY

Look at image and see what I mean ;)

Attachment 2567

You will also notice one UP and one DOWN button (queue)

not sure if this is allready somewhere in this thread or other threads. I don't have the time to look through all the pages, but recently LimeWire's been inaccurately loading my incompleted downloads list on restart (it's missing a munch of the files that are clearly in the incomplete directory and were downloading fine last time I was running). Maybe an option for manually forcing the software to accept incomplete files instead of relying on the dat or bak files (which are probably what's corrupted upon exit) is in order? (as later versions of WinMX had)

This happened to me once. Just search for whatever is missing then download the file with the broken page picture. It'll start from where you left off. :)

true
 

I know, but that will only work if there's an available copy of the file. Plus is just plain a pain in the butt. It shouldn't be that difficult to make a method to import incomplete files (provided they aren't corrupt, of course, but that's a different matter entirely)

point taken.

I still cant remember the names of some files I was downloading before :(

Limewire: Reboot and resume download
 

:mad: 1. I have just tried out Limewire for the first time and while the results appear significantly faster, I am wondering why Limewire will not allow you to reboot your system and then resume downloads where you left off before the reboot. It APPEARS (??) to start the download/s all over again.

2. What about the idea of incorporating a graphical bandwith/speed analysis like eDonkey and Shareaza into the operating shell of Limewire. This would allow you to monitor the real-time bandwith/speed of downloads/uploads. The present indication of the progress of downloads and uploads is a bit short on detail as well.
Other than that, congratulations to Limewire authors!

New feature request
 

Any chance of a "shutdown after transfers" option??!
