The only way to use magnet-links with mozilla on linux would probably be a plugin (mozilla plugins should also work with konqueror). All I managed to do was copy & paste magnet support.

I don't know much about MacOS(X), - in fact I never touched a Mac (they are not popular at all in Germany and I don't think you can even buy them within 50 miles from where I live).

check out protozilla.mozdev.org !
it will work for magnet links.

Global Resume of Incompletes
 
Hey all, I'm less than a novice user, but enjoy reading the dialogue you geeks got going (no offence intended, I'm a geek wannabee)...

...I've spent alot of time constructing my searches and for one reason or another I'll end up with the whole que in the incomplete folder. Like others, I think, it'd be nice to do a global resume instead of adding them back to the search window one by one. Also, I've found minimal success with these anyway so should I just give up on these as bad searches or keep trying?

Thanks for a great product!

If a download goes into requery mode and if it remains in this state for more than two or three days I tend to give it up.

Resuming Incompletes
 
Thanks for the reply! I'll give up on most of them, but some have partially downloaded. It would still be nice to group them and add them back at once instead of individually.

Also, I've read in one of the threads that the longer you leave limewire up and running the better the connections become. For me, I've observed that over long periods the activity seems to run out. Simply closing and reopening "reactivates" the activity so to speak. What's up with this or has anyone else not noticed this?

Restarting LimeWire helps a little. Most of the downloads will still not finish. The whole problem is that LimeWire considers all hosts that don't respond properly as bad and won't retry it, so - in case the host is really not active anymore - LimeWire won't keep on retrying it. Otherwise LimeWire would make it easy for a malicious attacker to use gnutella for a DDoS attack.

A cool new feature would be usernames so you can search for someone and get a list of their files to download.

Don't impliment more features for the media player. I hate when programs try to expand and ad all sort of features that are off of their core features and could be done much better by other programs.

I voted for ading the Browse Host feature again. I picked up some cool music by people that have similar tastes!

I would love to see i tab which i could click on to see the downloads AND uploads all on one page. Or can i do that already?

I have a severe back disability. It would be helpful to have a cut and paste feature to cut down on typing. Even on my laptop, the reaching is painful. Saving searches would also be helpful so they can be reactivated or edited.
