Default requeries, AG, and wishlists

I'm sure I'll be delighted if someone can show me I'm wrong but I don't know of AG type setups anywhere else - I keep reading in the groups about this or that alternative based in Poland or Uzbekistan or wherever but my experience has been that (like AG actually) they don't work for me for mysterious and inexplicable reasons (I wish I'd kept a list of all the different error messages I've been presented with) or they've crashed under the weight of visitors or they've folded because of the way they face a much greater legal risk exposure. The decentralised p2p systems are relatively safe from legal attack and are a genuinely exciting way to exploit the potential of the internet.

Re: the wishlists and requeries - its hard not to just sigh and say "get real" - the fluidity of the ultrapeer connections coupled with the real time gaps between actual requeries being sent out (as opposed to the friendly little message implying that requeries are being sent as you watch) mean that the chances of a requery resulting in a conection AND download are so close to zero its false advertising to have the button there at all

I'm interested to hear someone else bothered about the slippery ultrapeer connection - I'd be really interested to hear from a LW developer about the possibility for firstly stabilising those connections a little and secondly doing something about LW and BS giving each other the cold shoulder (so silly - both would benefit hugely from better compatability)

Cheers, bad_vlad
