No Waiting in line when using Pro version
 
The Pro version should position my download to next in line (unless other pro users were first).

Pro users should be given higher preferencing of downloading from people that have impossible upload settings.

I don't like being shown files that will never download. The search should better at being able to filter the hosts that I have no chance of downloading from.

My IntelliMouse Explorer scroll wheel does not work in Version 4.0.2

Pro Users are treated the same by other clients, because your program doesn't shout to the Net "I have paid, serve me".

It would be possible to create Code, which preferences Pro Users, but that would only spawn LimeWire clones, which are simply built from the sourcecode as Pro Versions (Don't forget that LmeWire is completely GPL).

I tend to agree. I've been trying to download a 39MB video for about 7 hours. Ok, I only have dial-up, but downloading a file of approx. the same size would taken me about 3 hours downloading from a website.

Also, I got "Waiting for Busy Hosts" every so often during the download.

There are plans to make Searches give more information, so your program tries the clients with open slots first.

But that will likely still take some time.

If yoo have any Ideas, please report them here:

(And in this forum, of course)
