Default New Feature Request

Is their a way we can add a feature were the users can rate the files not the quality of the files but actually rate the file. because I spent many hours downloading a file and finding out its not that file at all or its corrupted. Most of the time people dont delete trash that they download and to me thats a big problem. so if us users can rate the files so others can see if they should download it or not.

Depending on what type of file it is you can do a Bitzi Web lookup for it to see if there's any problems with it. To use Bitzi, Right-click on the file in the search results. To find out more about Bitzi do a search on the forum for that word.

I doubt that if a file was not of good quality that people would share it if they had already downlded it & were aware it was poor or corrupt. Bitzi is about user feedback (obviously needs greater feedback.) So I'm not sure how your idea (good as it sounds) would work. Any ideas yourself?

Well People dont delete the courupted files from their system, or people have so many files in their queu and they dont check all the files. I was just thinking if I downloaded a bad file or incorrectly name file I can give it a rating so others can see also bitzi brings you to a web site to check files and for user feedback but something should be implimented into the program I personally beleive its easier to see feedback on a file if its on the screen I search instead of doing a full blown enquiry about a file. I got this rating system from Netflix the way you can rate the dvd's you rent.

An idea would be to create a bitprint from teh completed file and to give the User the option to upload this to bitzi and to rate it.

Then Bitzi would assumedly be populated far faster than with people having to use their bitcollider (who wants to fire up the bitcollider after the download is finished?)

A button "rate files on bitzi" which only gets avaible when some downloads have finished would be great!

(and maybe some smaller protocol with bitzi, so you can just read out the rating from within Limewire (and correct it after downloading, if it should be wrong)
