Currently, if you open a torrent with LimeWire, e.g. from a browser, a second instance of LimeWire pops up. Clearly LimeWire is the kind of application that should be single-instance under all circumstances, since running two instances of LimeWire causes odd effects in your dowload list and other places.
So in short: a) Open the torrent in the current instance of LimeWire if running, rather than start a new instance. b) If LimeWire accidentally gets started twice, it should inform the previously started instance of its command line arguments and terminate. This will add robustness. |

And fix the "file" -> "download .torrent file" menu command. When you try to use it LimeWire complains that it can't download the torrent file from the suplied URL. Which is utter bollocks, because none of my browsers (IE, Safari, Konqueror, Firefox, Lynx, Netscape) have a problem downloading it.

...add a checkbox in the options dialog that resets the file association for .torrent files to what it was before LimeWire was installed when unchecked.

And why oh why did it remove TorrentSpy from the context menu? Damn... I had to use Regedit to get my old .torrent associations back, so hopefully you understand that I'm pretty pissed off.
