Selectable download thresholds for clients
 
It would be really nice to set a threshold that Limewire would evaluate each client in the download swarm.

The reasoning is simple. You search a file and find that 270 clients have the file. You begin the download and immediately find that 6 of your 8 available connections are latch at 4kbs or so. The next 2 hook up at a decent speed. (Well I can only assume because I can't drill down)

What I would like is on the first pass, Limewire would drop the connection if it could not maintain the minimum user selectable threshold and attempt another client.

If after all the clients are attempted, then restart the list and accept whatever speeds until all the connections are used.

Something similar has already been tried for the next version, so I guess choosing the fastest sources on-the-fly while downloading will be implemented.
