Size Filter request (request * infinity)
 

Lord of the Rings

You said:Does this mean that the LW programmers have put "size filters" on their "To Do" list or am I just whistling in the wind?:confused:



UK Bob

I fully agree with you that this needs to be done immediately!!

There should be several options instituted:

In the preference of the program there should be an option to eliminate from the search outcome files that meet a certain size requirements.

2nd: One should have the ability to highlight several files at once and with one right click of the mouse block all the hosts that have those files.

3rd: If one result shows up but with 36 people that have it, at present we are only able to block one. We need the ability to block all.

I hope LIMEWIRE is reading this!!!

Lets put the class back into this program and give the users what they need.

This should be top priority next to security.

Everyone please voice your opinion and other features that you feel merit Limewire to change

If this was done not only would your computer be safer but it would allow children to download stuff and them not be virus.

I wouldn't let children loose on Limewire. Nothing will stop them coming across porn, violence and anything else that some people consider unsuitable for children. If you are ok with your kids getting their hands on all the stuff available on the Gnutella network, then, let them use it by all means.

Please see my tread named The Poll To End All Polls and vote so limewire can see wat we really want

Where's the link to it? OK got it http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=48353
Yep not a bad poll. Nice list but a lot for the LW proggies to cover.

Not as far as I know. They need a kick to get their priorities in the right direction. lol :D

Also tell people to vote on it cause it is good

You clearly have the whole thing thought out, so, since Limewire is open source, you should make the necessary adjustments, and release Random Wire. Good luck.

Trust me if i had a team of programmers i would create a p2p filesharing prog but unfortunanly i don't know jack bout programming

Well on the File size filter ... it has been asked for and asked for forever and the programmers have always finished up shoving it under the carpet. I'm no programmer either, but I feel absolutely certain that, there has to be a way to do this.

Dunno how you do a porn filter without previewing the file first.

Nor a virus filter ... but you seem to have some knowledge of something that might work.

ip banning is Laughable in Limewire. I think in Phex if you ban multiple hosts carrying any sort of junk, that ALL of them get banned. This would be a VERY good start in Limewire.

Two host filters should be employed. One for personal bannings. and another for Virus spreaders etc. This should be updated for all users automatically by a central source.... which leads to the question .."what source?"

As for Banning Kiddie Porn Peddlars. They should be reported to the relevant authorities. They will not be pedding their filth for long after that.
